Header redirect

[gum1982]

 

Hello ive got a problem ive got form with its action set to itself.

<form id="formID" class="formular" method="post" action=""/>

 

it then runs through validation and if their are no errors it the runs a header redirect.

 if($error == ''){
             header('location: http://example.com/test.php);
       }
}

 

The problem im having is it doesnt pass through all the form variables to the next page like firstname lastname email etc.

 

If i set the forms action to test.php it sends them all fine can someone please tell me a workaround when using a header redirect?

upon using a header() redirect, all posted variables will be lost.  if you want to retain your posted vars, do not use a header() redirect.

 

and do not close your <form /> like that.  should be <form></form>

Nightmare i wish i had known that before. thanks is their no way around this like with maybe a session?

[mrMarcus]

sure, you can use sessions.  just make sure to set them before the redirect.
