[SOLVED] Form action

[Miko]

Hello,

 

I have a search form where a user can insert 2 different values:

 

- track

- reference

 

depending with what kind of value the user want's to search this one is send to another website/link

 

- track -> for ex: www.track.com

- reference -> for ex: www.reference.com

 

The form has 2 radio buttons, so the user must chose one of both to get his result.

 

The action is not a problem, but it's how to know if the user has chosen track or reference.

 

I know that it should work with a if($track){go website}else{go other website}

But I don't know the whole technical part of this, anyone can help me out here?

 

Thanks

Say the name of the track radio button is 'track' and the other is 'ref' then you'd use:

 

if(isset($_POST['track']))
{
     //Do whatever
}
elseif(isset($POST['ref']))
{
     //Do whatever
}

thanks

 

this is not realy the problem, I forgot the mention the real question (d'oh).

 

in the if(isset($track){

 

// how can I code here that he must go to website a?

 

}else{

 

  // same thing here?

 

}

if(isset($track){

  header('Location:http://www.hotmail.com');

}else{

   header('Location:http://www.yahoo.com');

}

I've tried this one, but I got this as error  :-\

 

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at D:\xampp\htdocs\Test\google.php:1) in D:\xampp\htdocs\Test\google.php on line 11

 

my code:

 

<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post" target="_blank">
Go Google:  <input type="text" name="bla"><input type="submit" name="go" value="GO">
</form>

<?php

$go = $_POST['go'];

if(isset($go)){

  	header('Location:http://www.hotmail.com');

}

?>

go it, I've changed the "action" into action="other.php" and put there the php code.

 

Thanks!

see if this helps:

 

<?php ob_start(); ?>


<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post" target="_blank">
   Go Google:  <input type="text" name="bla"><input type="submit" name="go" value="GO">
</form>

<?php

   $go = $_POST['go'];

   if(isset($go)){

     header('Location:http://www.hotmail.com');

   }

?>

<?php ob_end_flush(); ?>
