Hello everyone, Alright here\'s the problem: I am in a file called editstaff.php, which has a delete function. It does the deletion but afterwards it pulls up a blank form rather than going to a list of all the staff. The file that lists the staff is in listall.php.
See after the deletion I can click on a link that will take me to a list of all the staff. But how would I go right from hitting the deletion for the deletion to occur, to showing the list of staff? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Not having any idea of how you coded it thats not an easy question!
One way would be to use header() to send the user to the staff list once the deletion has been done.

Another way would be to include the file that shows the list after the deletion occurs.

Like Josh said, just use include"listall.php" or require"listall.php"

So you're saying just to put header(); right after my deletion statement?

if($action=='delete'){
mysql($dbName, "DELETE FROM youth WHERE employeeID='$employeeID'");

}

I have my header in another file. This is what I have at the top:
<?
include "header.php";

Anyways, I tried the header(); thing after the WHERE in the "if" statement and it gives me this message:
Wrong parameter count for header().

What's that?

how would I do that?

Thanks so much!

It would look like:

if($action=='delete'){
mysql($dbName, "DELETE FROM youth WHERE employeeID='$employeeID'");
header("Location: /new_dir/newpage.php");
}

Remember, you can't print any HTML or send anything back to the browser with the print command before your header is executed. Otherwise you'll get an error.
