Do it like this... if trim($_POST['age'] < 18) { echo "please Download the parental consent form <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"www.wokinghambikeathon.co.uk/documents/parentalconsentform.pdf\">here</a><br>then click <a href=\"www.wokinghambikeathon.co.uk/register2.php\">here</a> to continue"; }else{ header("Location: http://www.wokinghambikeathon.co.uk/register2.php"); } Also you had a semi colon next to your conditional statement, don't do that so i took it out.

Philip Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 if trim($_POST['age'] < 18) { echo "please Download the parental consent form <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"www.wokinghambikeathon.co.uk/documents/parentalconsentform.pdf\">here</a><br>then click <a href=\"www.wokinghambikeathon.co.uk/register2.php\">here</a> to continue"; }else{ header("Location: http://www.wokinghambikeathon.co.uk/register2.php"); } Also you had a semi colon next to your conditional statement, don't do that so i took it out. You're still missing something, namely in trim() // Technically, you won't need trim() if(trim($_POST['age']) < 18) { echo '{lease Download the parental consent form <a target="_blank" href="www.wokinghambikeathon.co.uk/documents/parentalconsentform.pdf">here</a><br>then click <a href="www.wokinghambikeathon.co.uk/register2.php">here</a> to continue'; // I find it easiest to use single quotes on echo and double quotes in my html. // it requires less escaping }else{ header("Location: http://www.wokinghambikeathon.co.uk/register2.php"); } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allworknoplay Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 You're still missing something, namely in trim() Ahh you know why I missed that? because I had already fixed it earlier up in the thread!!

allworknoplay Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 You're missing a closing bracket before the last line...it should be: // Technically, you won't need trim() if(trim($_POST['age']) < 18) { echo '{lease Download the parental consent form <a target="_blank" href="www.wokinghambikeathon.co.uk/documents/parentalconsentform.pdf">here</a><br>then click <a href="www.wokinghambikeathon.co.uk/register2.php">here</a> to continue'; // I find it easiest to use single quotes on echo and double quotes in my html. // it requires less escaping }else{ header("Location: http://www.wokinghambikeathon.co.uk/register2.php"); } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
