The problem appears to be that the variable associated with the POST action ($value) is not set properly in the code above. If I take the switch statement and add the 'default' to it with the following statement, it works: header("Location: "."index.html"); if I add this statement to it under 'default', header("Location" ".$GET['referringURL']); it causes an error (blank page) So the question is: why is the variable not being set?

@scootstah let me work with that and I'll get back to you (probably tomorrow)... it's not a case of drag and drop the code, I have to rework the entire bit of PHP... thank you for your post, tho' SpokaneDude

That's exactly what I was trying to do - redirect the user back to the home page (index.html) and they can go from there... where do I find out how to "style it using CSS"? (I'm a noob at CSS also, but I do know other languages). Here is the complete code for the View Cart page: <?php session_start(); define("PRODUCTCODE", 0); define("PRODUCTNAME", 1); define("QUANTITY", 2); define("PRICE", 3); define("URL",4); if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { if (isset($_POST['productcode'])) { AddToCart(); } else { $action = isset($_POST['action']) ? $_POST['action'] : ''; $value = strtoupper(substr($action, 0, 5)); echo $value; switch ($value) { // continue shopping case "CONTI": header("Location: "."index.html"); // header("Location" ".$GET['referringURL']); break; // recalculate case "RECAL": RecalculateCart(); break; // proceed to checkout case "CHECK": header("Location: "."customer.php"); break; } } } function AddToCart() { $cart = isset($_SESSION['cart']) ? $_SESSION['cart'] : ''; $itemcount = isset($_SESSION['itemcount']) ? $_SESSION['itemcount'] : 0; $cart[PRODUCTCODE][$itemcount] = $_POST['productcode']; $cart[PRODUCTNAME][$itemcount] = $_POST['productname']; $cart[QUANTITY][$itemcount] = intval($_POST['quantity']); $cart[PRICE][$itemcount] = $_POST['price']; $itemcount = $itemcount + 1; $_SESSION['cart'] = $cart; $_SESSION['itemcount'] = $itemcount; } function RecalculateCart() { $cart = isset($_SESSION['cart']) ? $_SESSION['cart'] : ''; $itemcount = isset($_SESSION['itemcount']) ? $_SESSION['itemcount'] : 0; for ($i=0; $i<$itemcount; $i++) { $quantity = $_POST['quantity'.($i)]; if (empty($quantity)) { $quantity = 0; } else if (($quantity < 0) || (!is_numeric($quantity))) { $quantity = 0; } $cart[QUANTITY][$i] = intval($quantity); } for ($j=0; $j<$itemcount; $j++) { $quantity = $cart[QUANTITY][$j]; // remove item from the cart if ($quantity == 0) { $itemcount--; $curitem = $j; while(($curitem+1) < count($cart[0])) { for ($k=0; $k<4; $k++) { $cart[$k][$curitem] = $cart[$k][$curitem+1]; $cart[$k][$curitem+1] = ''; } $curitem++; } } } $_SESSION['itemcount'] = $itemcount; $_SESSION['cart'] = $cart; } ?>

I have some PHP code that does eCommerce; I have a 'Continue Shopping' button with this code: if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { if (isset($_POST['productcode'])) { AddToCart(); } else { $action = isset($_POST['action']) ? $_POST['action'] : ''; $value = strtoupper(substr($action, 0, 5)); switch ($value) { // continue shopping case "CONTI": header("Location: "."index.html"); break; which is not working - status on bottom of Firefox browser just says: waiting for sitename.com and nothing ever happens. So, what is the correct way to go to another page from the current page? BTW, I'm a noob (but I'm learning) at PHP, so please excuse the lame question.
