best redirection method using form

[jassh]

hi fellas..
hope you guys are having a blast..

here's a scenario that has been bugging me..

i set up a form..
with a simple text area.
and i have three button..

1. Cancel
2. Add More User
3. Done

so this registration.php looks like this

<form name="form1" method="post" action="process.php">
  <p>
    <input name="textarea" type="text" value="">
  </p>
  <p> 
    <input type="submit" name="button_cancel" value="Cancel">
    <input type="submit" name="button_addmore" value="Add More">
    <input type="submit" name="button_done" value="Done">
  </p>
</form>

and the process.php looks like this

<?php

//if the cancel button was pressed

if(isset($_POST['button_cancel'])) {

header("Location: [url]http://[/url]".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
                  .dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])
                  ."/"."main.php");
exit;


}

//if the done button was pressed

if(isset($_POST['button_done'])) {

header("Location: [url]http://[/url]".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
                  .dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])
                  ."/"."thankyou.php");
exit;


}


//if the addmore button was pressed

if(isset($_POST['button_admore'])) {

header("Location: [url]http://[/url]".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
                  .dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])
                  ."/"."registration.php");
exit;

}

unfortunately for me...
only the cancel button works..
the rest of the button will make me stuck at the process.php, with a blank screen..

is it the redirection problem, or is it the way i do the conditioned if.

F.Y.I, i can only use form button.. and not any other type of linkage.. like text, pics, etc..

thanks in advanced..
hope you guys have a nice day 🙂

try using

<input type="submit" name="confirm" value="add">
<input type="submit" name="confirm" value="cancel">
<input type="submit" name="confirm" value="done">

then

switch($_POST['confirm']){
    case "add":
        /* code to process */
        break;
    case "cancel":
        /* code to process */
        break;
    case "done":
        /* code to process */
        break;

}

I'm amazed any of it works, you're mixing html with a header() command!

Initially I'd set them up like this so I can see what would be called and make mods as required.

if(isset($_POST['button_done'])) {
    $url = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] .dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ."/thankyou.php";
    echo $url;
//    header("Location: $url");
  exit;
}

Now, about the target=_blank stuff. You've submitted the page so you now have a blank screen. You want to open the result in another screen but then you exit so nothing ever fills the screen. Think that through after you've got the basics working.
