[RESOLVED] header: multiple redirectiopn possible?

[choubix]

hello,

I've wrote a script (wow 😉

If A tells B about the website.
I create a temporay account for B.
when B visits the website A is credited with points

The thing is: when B log on the website his temporary account is finalized but I still have some information missing (like birthday + subscription to the mailing list)

I am using header () to redirect users duringthe login process
is it possible to open more than one window using header?

As B logs on the website, I would need the main page to open in the main windows (it's currently the case) AND a pop up with a form to flash on his screen.

does anyone know how i can do that please?
thanks 🙂

I would use JavaScript to do an onLoad on the main page so that when the user logins, he sees the main page and the javascript on the main page opens the form.

hi,

i initially thought of that, the problem is that if i do it: the javascript will flash at all users and not just those who were recommended the website no?

here is the code I am currently using so you can get an idea of what it looks like for me:

  //check that client has been recommended + that points have not been attributed to the referring client
  if($referral !== "0" && $confirmation == "0")
  {
  $query = "SELECT id_clients FROM grids_clients WHERE id_clients = '$_SESSION[id_clients]'";
  $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed. ' . mysql_error());

	  if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 1)
	  {
	  $query = "UPDATE clients SET confirmation = 1 WHERE id_clients = '$_SESSION[id_clients]'";
	  mysql_query($query) or die ('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());

	  //give away 1000 points per registered user
	  $query = sprintf("UPDATE clients SET points = points + 1000 WHERE id_clients = '$referral'",
	  			mysql_real_escape_string($referral)
				); 
	  mysql_query($query) or die ('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
	  }	  
  }	  	  
  switch($data["level"])
  {
  case "0":
  //user mode

  //update visit counter
  $query = sprintf("UPDATE clients SET counter = counter + 1 WHERE email = '$email' AND password = md5('$password')",
  			mysql_real_escape_string($email),
			mysql_real_escape_string($password)
			); 
  mysql_query($query) or die ('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());


  header('Location: ../index4.php');
  exit();
  break;

Why not use an if statement then on the main page to display the javascript. If the member was referred display the javascript box, else do nothing.

right!
actually i need to pass a variable in the url of the header and GET it on index4.php

think i need to sleep... i should have seen this one! 😉

thanks !! 🙂
