[Resolved] if condition met, redirect. how?

skeetley

I have tried searching this one but I am not too sure what i am looking for.

I have a form. When the submit button is pressed I shoot the form to a page, say formprocessing.php Now I process the form and say if this and if that, I want the page to shoot to another page. Like a redirect.

<?php
 if (($Period=="Todays_Forecast") && ($Type=="Table")){header("Location: [url]http://www.domain.com/forecast/Todays_Forecast.html[/url]");}
 ?>

Now obviously I have a few more options for Period and Type I need to add. But this doesn't work because I get: Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent

So how do I do this or is there a better way? Thanks.

This would mean you have output before a header can you show us the whole script.

However you can look at the output functions such as ob_start and ob_end_flush

G-Net

One way I've found useful is just to do the following:

<?php
if (($Period=="Todays_Forecast") && ($Type=="Table")){
     echo "<script language=\"JavaScript\">
     location.replace(\"http://www.domain.com/forecast/Todays_Forecast.html\");
     </script>";
     exit();
}
?>

There are probabaly better ways to do it, but should work regardless if the headers have been set or not, and doesn't cache the page.

HTH!

As G-Net said, there are several ways to do it... I just happen to use this method:

<?
  if ($result){
    echo '<html><head>
      <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=theurl">
      </head>
      </html>';
  }
?>
