[Resolved] [Resolved] need to redirect after my script has run

jasonmills58

Can somebody help me with this? My user inputs data at input.php whose action calls action.php which just does a SQL INSERT. this is not a problem.

but at the end of the action.php I would like to jump automatically to view.php where the user sees the contents of the database.

I'm on top of all the database issues, I just need to know how to autojump at the end of my INSERT script, so the user can go from pressing the "SUBMIT" button, to seeing their data in the database.

this seems like it should be remarkably simple, but for the life of me, i can't firgure it out. please help....

Header ("Location: view.php");

well i feel silly. thank you very much, i do appreciate it.

i find this isn't working because the header has to be submitted before anything runs. this what i'm trying to do:

if ( isset( $username ) or isset( $password ) ) {
$dberror = " ";
$ret = add_to_database( $username, $password,
&$dberror );
if ( ! $ret )
print "Error: $dberror<BR>";
else
header("location: viewClients.php");
} else {
header("location: addNewClient.php");
}

Obviously its the wrong tactic, but i can't figure out how to make a conditional 'go to' type of action.

what error are you getting??

i think it should be Header not header btw..

sorry, i didn't realize you could get the header() function to work as long as your entire php script was before any html stuff. i've got that working now. thanks for your help!
