submit button modification

[joergermeister]

I am trying to get my submit buttons on my jobsite to go to next page in application and not just refresh. The html code below is to the first submit button (submit button at bottom of code). I added the a href= line to create a link to the page i want it to go automaticaly after pressing each submit button for each section. All submit buttons and the application sections are on this html page and make a call for each section in onlinecv.php.

 

example: i would like the page http://www.expediterjobsonline.com/jobseekers/onlinecv.php?section=Career%20Objective to go to page http://www.expediterjobsonline.com/jobseekers/onlinecv.php?section=Job%20Preferences after the submit button is clicked.

I am not sure that there was a question in there but all you have to do is this:

 

<form method="post" action="http://www.expediterjobsonline.com/jobseekers/onlinecv.php?section=Job%20Preferences ">
<input type="submit" value="submit">

 

When you click the submit button it will go to the job preferences page.

I believe that would make every section of the application go to that page when submit is clicked. the page only contains one form method=post and it is use for all sections that have a submit button. All submit button are coded on one html page but it will only show the section people are in when they are using the website (not a problem).

there are 10 sections and i want 2 or 3 of them to go to another page after submit button is clicked. 

i am only posting the parts that i think is the code from the html and php pages of the site because admin said the post had to much code to go through for anyone to help me.

 

thanks again, JP

I am not sure if this is right or not but if you wanted to have one submit button for different sections. you could make a unique value telling it which page to go to and have it submit to the same page like this:

 

<form method="post" action="submit.php ">
<input type="text" name ="unique">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

 

Then on the submit.php page you could have it check for that value and redirect to the right page like this:

 

<?php
$unique = $_POST['unique'];

if($unique == "value")
{
header("location:job_preferences.php")
}
elseif($unique == "value2")
{
header("location:another_page.php")
}
?>

 

I think that is what you are looking for?
