A PHP Form - Redirecting - Please Help!

jeff_lawik

Hello!

I have been having a tough time with this for about a week now and can't get this to work correctly.

Here's what I want to accomplish:

A user wants to access his/her preferences. To do this, they must use their unique URL. Instead, i want a page that has a text input for their email. After competing their email address, i want the form to redirect the page to http://pagename/uid={there email address here}

Here is what i currently have:

</form>

The problem with this is, it adds "email={inputted infor]" instead of: the entire new url to redirect to with the $email variable at the end of it.

Thanks For The Help!

Jeff

Your problem is that at the time the php writes your javascript to the browser, nothing has been entered into the email text field. You are depending on a variable which has not yet been set by the user. Since your form is submitting to the same page, try this:
<?php
if(!empty($email)){ // IF SUBMITTED EMAIL, REDIRECT
$goto="http://www.rushhourdirect.com/lists/?=preferences&uid=".$email;
Header("location:$goto");
exit;
}
?>
<html><head></head><body>
<form action="<?php print $PHP_SELF?>" method="GET">

</form>
</body></html>

Thanks for your help. I am pretty much a newbie with PHP. I have been working with it for just under a year, and am sometimes in over my head.

Just wanted to say that it works perfectly, and I really appreciate it.

Thanks a Million!
