redirect help

[phpisawesome]

Ok so basically at the end of my script...I want it to redirect to another page, but still print to the screen the text I want it to...can anyone help?

 

So on the page it redirects to display the text as it would if I didn't redirect the page...

Sorry, you want to display text then redirect? Theres no point, it wont be seen.

 

You want to redirect to a page displaying text? Whats the problem?

[phpisawesome]

on the new page display the text

[trq]

All you need do is create a page with the text you want then redirect to it. I don't understand the issue.

when you click the link it does the action...on a certain php file...now on that php file I want it to do what it's supposed to...and redirect to another page displaying the text from earlier in the script. Please help.

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['message'] = "Text from script"; //sets message to a session variable.
header("Location: new_page.php"); //redirects to new_page.php in 0s
echo $_SESSION['message']; //echos out Text from script
?>

echo "BLAH BLAH BLAH";
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=page.htm"/>'

                                                          --^ will delay it 5 seconds.

is this the only way?

one way, correcting previous post

 

<?php
session_start();
if ($_GET['show'] == 1) {
   echo $_SESSION['message']; //echos out Text from script
} else {
    $_SESSION['message'] = "Text from script"; //sets message to a session variable.
    header("Location: new_page.php?show=1"); //redirects to new_page.php in 0s
    exit;
}
?>

So when I click the link I want it to perform the action on the php action page and on the page it redirects to display what it needs to display

 

So here's an example

 

Click here to add me as a friend!

 

So when you click here it does the action in the php file...and it redirects you to the main friends page but displaying the results from the action page...

thoughts?

store the value that needs to appear on the second page, then retrieve it and display it on the second page. i would use a SESSION variable to store the value on the first page, then when the visitor arrives on the second page, i would echo the value of that SESSION variable. just like my example, but splitting it onto 2 pages instead of just 1 like I did.

So what is wrong with unkwntech's example, it's exactly what you describe.
