If command

[cdtc]

Hi, I am having problems with a small section off my code. There are no errors with the code, it is just not doing what I want it to do. This is what I have at the moment:

<?php
$db=mssql_connect("blah","blah","blah") or die("Cannot connect to database server");
mssql_select_db("blah",$db);
$strSQL="SELECT * FROM School WHERE ([School Code Number] = '" .$_POST['schoolcode']."')";
$result=mssql_query($strSQL);
if (is_resource($rsData)) {
password2.php;
}
else
{
incorrect.html;
}
?>

bassicly if it finds a schoolcode it will go to password2.php, if there is no school code that matches then it will go to incorrect.html

Thanks in advance

The page stays on nopassword.php (which is blank) and does not go to any page

You need to do:

[code]<?php
$db=mssql_connect("blah","blah","blah") or die("Cannot connect to database server");
mssql_select_db("blah",$db);
$strSQL="SELECT * FROM School WHERE ([School Code Number] = '" .$_POST['schoolcode']."')";
$result=mssql_query($strSQL);
if (is_resource($rsData)) {
header("Location: password2.php"); exit;
}
else
{
header("Location: incorrect.html"); exit;
};
?>[/code]

}[/code]

But it's more recomended to use serverside redirects, mainly because they are faster and because some browser dont support meta refresh.

W3C states in [a href=\"http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_meta.asp\" target=\"_blank\"]this page[/a]:
[i]Note: W3C states that "Some user agents support the use of META to refresh the current page after a specified number of seconds, with the option of replacing it by a different URI. Authors should not use this technique to forward users to different pages, as this makes the page inaccessible to some users. Instead, automatic page forwarding should be done using server-side redirects"[/i]
