location.href ..what's this do?

[ethan6]

hi, i have this bit of code that i think sends my php variables, but i'm not really sure:

 

	<script language="JavaScript"><!--
	location.href = 'repair4.php';
	//--></script>

 

it's on the page here: http://myipodbroke.com/repair3a.php or the source here: http://myipodbroke.com/repair3a.txt

 

Thanks!

Firstly, this is a JS question, not PHP. 

Secondly, you can Google the "location" object to find your answer.

I think i figured it out.. i'm pretty sure it's just a redirect.

 

my problem then is larger:  i have a form that collects data (on the above mentioned page), and it currently sends the data (via POST) to the same page, which then emails the data via a mailer script (configure_repair.php) and then uses javascript to redirect the page.

 

any suggestions how i could do this:

collect data, send email, redirect WITH some variables?  (ie. I want to send the variable $screen_type2 to the page repair4.php)

 

Thanks!
