[amarafzal]

I got a form which has i agree and diagree checkbox on. if the user agrees to the terms i want them to go to e.g page 1, if they disagree they go to page 2

i need an if statemet i think. Any help?

you already posted this in another section of this forum, but...

you can handle it something like this

at the top of your page have this

<?
ob_start();
?>

then do

if ($_POST['nameofcheckbox'] == "valueofcheckbox") //use your values and names
{
header("Location: pageiftheycheckagree.php");
}
else
{
header("Location: pageiftheycheckdisagree.php");
}

now to keep your variables, that is another story, you will have to use hidden fields or sessions to get them to track to the next pages, or instead of redirection you can simply include the pages

you could try this:

in the form give the checkbox value = 1,
e.g.

<input type="checkbox" name="yay[]" value=1>

then in the php code check:

if($yay==1)
header( "Location: localhost/page1.html" );
else
header( "Location: localhost/page2.html" );

try it out.

i tried the following:
<?
if ($_POST['terms'] == "true")
{
header("Location: reg_employer.php");
}
else
{
echo "Location";
}
?>

didnt work

[amarafzal]

if the user clicks on diagree it works. but when the user checks agree, it doesnt take them to the page it is supposed to. Shall i have the if statement in the same page as the form? at the moment i have got it on a different page

[stolzyboy]

you can have the if on the same page and just submit to that page, but the code i gave you should work regardless, maybe your conditions aren't working the way you want
