redirecting to a different page

NoBullMan

Hi,
I am trying to redirect to a different page based on some condition and it does not seem to be working.

I want the cause the page that displayed the form to go to a different page when submit button is pressed.

I tried javascript with location.href, opener.location.href, opener.window.location.href and none of them do anything.

I tried header("location:..."), die('<meta http-equiv="refresh"...>
still no luck.

switch ($msg_type) {
    case 0:
//$url = "add.php?var1='".$value1."'&var2='".$value2."'";
//die('<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='.$url.'">');
//header("location: $url");
//echo '<script language="javascript">';
//echo 'location.href="add.php?var1='".$value1."'&var2='".$value2."'";
// echo 'self.close();';
//echo '</script>';*/
 }

Any help is appreciated.

This method uses a function to print the javascript for a given URL. It redirects via javascript.

<?

function UrlRedirect($url) { 
       $str = " 
    <html> 
        <script Language=\"JavaScript\">             

            window.location.href = \"$url\"; 
        </script> 
    </html> 
    "; 
    print $str; 
} 
$redirect="http://www.yourdomain.com/yourscript.php?var1=" . urlencode($var1) . "&var2=" . urlencode($var2);

UrlRedirect($redirect);

?>

This method will create the URL with only the variables you choose to specify. It then redirects via header.

<?

$redirect="http://www.yourdomain.com/yourscript.php?var1=" . urlencode($var1) . "&var2=" . urlencode($var2);
header("Location: $redirect");

?>

This Method will automatically create the URL with whatever variables (var1,var2...varN) were submitted to the script.
It then redirects via header.

 
<?

$redirect = "http://members.innercircle.org/login.php?redirect=" . urlencode(array_to_url($HTTP_GET_VARS));
header("Location: $redirect");

?>

For the two above messages to function, you need to use a function I picked up along the way called array_to_url :

function array_to_url( $values ){ 
if( !is_array( $values ) ) return false; 
	$url = '?'; 
	reset( $values ); 
	while( list( $k, $v ) = each( $values ) ){ 
		if( !is_object( $v ) ){ 
			if( is_array( $v ) ){ 
				reset( $v ); 
				while( list( $k2,$v2 ) = each( $v ) ){ 
					$url .= $url == '' ? $k.'['.$k2.']='.urlencode( $v2 ) : '&'.$k.'['.$k2.']='.urlencode( $v2 ); 
				} 
			} 
			else{ 
				$url .= $url == '' ? "$k=" . urlencode( $v ) : "&$k=" . urlencode( $v ); 
			} 
		} 
	} 
	return $url; 
}
