Multple submit button option with POST method

szms

Hi there..

I am trying to implement a form and two subnit button(yea and no) using POST method. If I prss "yes" button it will open a new page yes.html and display whatever is selcted from the form. And for "no" button it will open no.html and display the selected contents. How to do that?

then php page

<?
if ($_POST['submit'] == "yes")
{
header("Location: yes.html");
}
else if ($_POST['submit'] == "no")
{
header("Location: no.html");
}
else
{}
?>

stolzy, doesnt header() require full path? (just to eliminate a possible 2nd post if it bugs again... I could be wrong though) 🙂

Not that I am aware of does it REQUIRE a full path, nor am I aware of it bugging this way

Ahh just looked it up (can see the quote in the other header() problem thread, LOCATION headers do require a non relative URL

stolzyboy

check the other thread you are referring to, the quote had a but in it for some don't require it

and i have never used a /var/www/html/page.php (full) path when using header location

i have used the header location hundreds/thousands of times on different hosts, many different dev boxes, nix and win and have never, never used a full path

Sorry by full path I meant http://www.yoursite.com/youdir/yourpage.php

According to the online docs, header("Location: "); requires a full address... I've always seen it not work with just the page name.... shrug* maybe its configs on my system that make it not work...

stolzyboy

that could be, but i guess i've just never used it with the http://path/to/page.php

<form name="form1" action="handler.php" method="post">

Then, in handler.php:

<? 
if ($_POST['submit'] == "yes") 
{ 
    include("yes.php"); 
} 
else if ($_POST['submit'] == "no") 
{ 
    include("no.php"); 
} 
else 
{
} 
?>
