re-direct

cdennste

I am using the following code, basically i want too redirect back to a form.

Script Checks the form feilds to make sure no fields are blank.

Return error message and then kick back to the form page....

Any Idea's

if($issue=="" || $impact=="" || $starttime=="" || $endtime=="" || $workaround=="" || $resolution=="" || $ticket=="" || $contact=="") {
echo "Please fill out every field!";
echo "<script language=\"javascript\">document.open(\"www.yahoo.com\")</script>";
}else{

Thanks

I think you may be looking for window.location() to send the current window to a location...

It should be window.document.location.replace('thy_URL'), i.e. redirecting in the same window.
Or window.open('thy_URL'), i.e. openning a fresh new window.

woyuld it be possible to do both a redirect in the same browser and open another window?

PHPdev

sure you could do something like...
window.location();
window.open()

Thanks for all the help

How about trying an include?

If (!$variable == value){
Echo ("Please fill out every Field.");
include ("form.php");
}
Else{
Thank you
}

Actually, for a redirect, I'd recommend using PHP, not JavaScript:

header("Request-URI: http://www.example.com/foo/");
header("Content-Location: http://www.example.com/foo/");
header("Location: http://www.example.com/foo/");

You can do the same thing just using the "Location: ..." header, but with all three you can pass GET vars along with the URI.

To pop up a window and then redirect, though, you'd have to use JavaScript, since the headers can only be sent before any output to the document; so, you could not do something like:

print "<script language=\"JavaScript\">window.open(...);</script>\n";
header("Request-URI: http://www.example.com/foo/");
header("Content-Location: http://www.example.com/foo/");
header("Location: http://www.example.com/foo/");

This would give you a bunch of errors.
