[SOLVED] goto function

gwolff2005 · April 25, 2009

Hi guys,

after processing a form my page is supposed to go to another page. I use the code <?php

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) // if form was submitted 
{ 
?> 

<script language="JavaScript"> 
<!-- 
document.location="passiontest.php"; 
//--> 
</script> 

<?php 
} 
?>

Why does it not work?

phpdragon · April 25, 2009

I beleive its

document.location.href="passiontest.php";

how come you dont just point your form action="passiontest.php" ?, this would have the same effect

gwolff2005 · April 25, 2009

@phpdragon this is my code. It still does not want to work... What is wrong???

<?php ini_set("display_errors","2");
ERROR_REPORTING(E_ALL);?>
<?php require_once('Connections/Login.php'); ?>
<?php
session_start();
?>
<?php
//You will need to update all the below variables
$mysqlhost = "localhost";
$mysqluser = "guntmar";
$mysqlpass = "***";
$mysqldb = "guntmar";
$mysqltable = "users";
$username = "username";  
$currentpo = "resultspo";
$currentmo = "resultsmo";
$id = $_SESSION['id']; 

// End Variables

mysql_connect($mysqlhost, $mysqluser, $mysqlpass);
mysql_select_db($mysqldb);

$query = "SELECT * FROM " . $mysqltable . " WHERE username='" . $username . "'";

$result = mysql_query($query) or die("There was a mysql error");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    $currentpo = $row['resultspo'];
    $currentmo = $row['resultsmo'];
}

Use header instead.

header('Location: http://yourdomain/passiontest.php');

phpdragon · April 25, 2009

or change this

to

gwolff2005 · April 25, 2009

@mchl Thanks for the heaer suggestion. Hoever when I try that it tells me:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/guntmar/public_html/passiontest.php:147) in /home/guntmar/public_html/passiontest.php on line 183

gwolff2005 · April 25, 2009

@phpdragon There is a misunderstanding. The site of which I posted the code is called passiontest.php the site where it should go after processing the form is passiontest2.php. When i change now action as you suggested it does not save anymore the datas in mysql

gwolff2005 · April 25, 2009

Is there nothing I can write like if form is processed goto passiontest2.php

Mchl · April 25, 2009

Yes you can. Use headers as I said. Only thing you must take care of, is that there's no output before it.

gwolff2005 · April 25, 2009

ok maybe i dont get it i went through every tutorial but it seems i still dont get it.. When I put the header UNDER the output it does not work as you say if I put it on top of the output it goes straight to the other side without showing the information...

trq · April 25, 2009

Move all your html into the showform() function, you cannot output any content before calling header.

gwolff2005 · April 25, 2009

Hi thorpe thanks for your help.

However that does not work!! Can you please help me?

Daniel0 · April 25, 2009

You need to learn just basically how the HTTP protocol works.

If you want the page at http://www.phpfreaks.com then you first open up a connection to 66.97.171.5 on the port 80, and you tell the machine something like this:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.phpfreaks.com

An empty line denotes that there are no more headers. Then the server will respond with something like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2009 10:35:00 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.8
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

*HTML SOURCE CODE HERE*

Again, the an empty line denotes the end of headers. What that means is that when you're done with your headers, you're done. There can be absolutely no more. Headers first, body after. So if you send content, then the headers will have to be sent, but if the headers have been sent, then you cannot send more headers. That's the way the HTTP protocol works.
