How to make one php page open another one

crwtrue

Is html form or link the only way to go another page? Is there php function that would open another page? Also if i want to make a yes/no button group in a php page that will change how the program works(goto diffrent route in if else sentece), is html form only way to go?

Is it possible to use post or get second time without deleting all the previous data in global variables? should open $_SELF.. or somethink like that if i dont want to delete all changes in variables?

You could have a pop up or something like that. How do you want the user to go to another page though.

well lets say first you are in one page where you see the data from table by select query then you decide to update and you goto another page with html form, that page does the update query. How can you get back from that page without pressing a link to the first page?

Is normally in php programs diffrent section like example. update query page done like that you put include to first page then you call update function?

I normally code the form and update code in the same script.

<?php
if( isset( '$_POST['update']  ) && $_POST['update']=='update' ) {
    // do update code
}
 ?>

<form method='post' >
<input type='submit' name='update' value='update' >
</form>

Either that or you can break out of PHP and back into HTML like thus and do a redirect:

?>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="x; pagename.htm">
<?php

Where x is the time in seconds (0 will work here) and obviously put the filename in where appropriate.
