need some redirect help

Nacota · September 29, 2009

This is continuing problem for me

what I have is a form that once filled out should redirect to the homepage

but isnt working can you see any problems with this code?

both bits of code are in different pages one is an .inc page with the stored data

not sure what is wrong :shrug:

<?

include('SignUp/questconfig.inc');

if ($redirecturl != "") {

header("Location: $redirecturl");

} else {

echo "<br><center>$finishedtext</center><br>";

}

?>

data from

SignUp/questconfig.inc :

<?

# url the form will redirect to after sending email

$redirecturl = "www.site.com";

# text that will display if you leave above variable blank

$finishedtext = "Thank you for your interest, We will be contacting you soon!";

?>

Thank you for helping!

Add the following two lines of code immediately after your first opening <?php tag on the main page -

ini_set("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);

cags · September 29, 2009

It's possible that you have short_open_tag set to false in your php.ini. Your redirect wouldn't have completed correctly without the http:// part of the url. This code should work.

<?php
   include('SignUp/questconfig.inc');

      if ($redirecturl != "") {
         header("Location: $redirecturl");
         exit();
      } else {
         echo "<br><center>$finishedtext</center><br>";
      }
?>

<?php

# url the form will redirect to after sending email
$redirecturl = "http://www.site.com";

# text that will display if you leave above variable blank
$finishedtext = "Thank you for your interest, We will be contacting you soon!";

?>

ok I did that and now theres errors all over my form page

about the config.inc page?

but what its pointing out is right (I think)

$msg2 = "

>> Name: $ContactName

>> Company: $CompanyName

>> Position: $YourPosition

>> Email: $ContactEmail

";

EDIT:: Notice: Undefined variable: ContactName in SignUp/questconfig.inc on line 56

error Im getting

is what I have where its throwing the errors where the ">>" is and the ">>" is not there in the real page

this $msg2 is the data that gets mailed to me and is only be here as a reference to the order inside the email I get

should this look like the main page as:

$ContactName = $_POST[ContactName];

ok well the http:// was up there, Ive tried it both ways but I see exit() after

is that needed?

If you say so, though http:// is included nowhere in your first post. The exit() strictly speaking in your case might not be required, it is however best practice. After sending a Location header, the script does keep running, which is something you don't actually want to happen. If you have no other code below it doesn't espcially matter, but if you have a full script below, you don't want it running.

Nacota · September 29, 2009

yes your right I didnt say anything about it here

"up there" meaning the server, sorry

on the exit() that makes sense, end what donsnt need to run

I have put in the exit(), and the http://

however it still dosen't work

I have updated my other post with the error I am getting

any ideas?

cags · September 29, 2009

People will debate all day about whether you should solve or ignore Notices, but one thing thats fairly certain, they are not what are stopping your code working. If you copy the code I posted and just the code I posted into the two respective files, it will work (the caveat being that I used a .php extention for the included file, depending on your server settings it might not parse PHP in the .inc file correctly) . If your code is not working there is something else in your script causing the problems. Without seeing the whole script I'd need a magic ball to work out what exactly that might be.

Ill send you a pm cags

thank you!

As far as I can tell the problems you are having must revolve around the JavaScript section.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    <!-- Hide code from non-js browsers
    function validate()
    {
        formObj = document.CustomerForm;
        if ((formObj.ContactName.value == "") ||
            (formObj.CompanyName.value  == "") ||
            (formObj.YourPosition.value  == "") ||
            (formObj.ContactEmail.value  == ""))
        {
            alert("You have not filled in all required fields.");
            return false;
        }
        else {
            header("Location: $redirecturl");
            return true;
        }
    }
   
   function formReset()
{document.getElementById("CustomerForm").reset()}
    // end hiding -->
</SCRIPT>

As this code is ran when you submit the form, if you have filled in the 4 required fields it will attempt to run the line...

header("Location: $redirecturl");

To my knowledge that is not valid JavaScript code and that line shouldn't be there at all. Once I removed that, the script seemed to 'move on'.

Nacota · September 29, 2009

well I dont know dosent seem to want to work

you can visit here if you want to take a look at what is happening

http://www.nacota.comlu.com/html/mailforms/signup.php

also for ease of working only the top 4 textbox's validate

and as long as theres a @ in the email anything will pass in the others

it just dies dont know

I dont get anything

Nacota · September 30, 2009
