andrew_biggart Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi there basically what I would like to do is when ever a user submits a thread on my forum instead of echo"your thread has been submitted" I would like for them to be redirected to the thread that they just submitted. I know that i need to do an sql statement to find out what the Post_id was but i have no idea where to start, can anyone give me any tips or point me in the right direction? Thanks This is the current submit thread file that I am using. <?php include("config.php"); if(isset($_POST['add_topic'])){ $Post_username=$_SESSION['myusername']; $Post_subject=$_POST['Post_subject']; $Post_message=$_POST['Post_message']; $Post_tags=$_POST['Post_tags']; $Post_type=$_POST['Post_type']; $Post_pp=$_SESSION['myavatar']; $sql="INSERT INTO biggartfp9_forum_threadst (Post_username, Post_pp, Post_date, Post_subject, Post_message, Post_tags, Post_type)VALUES('$Post_username', '$Post_pp', NOW(), '$Post_subject', '$Post_message', '$Post_tags', '$Post_type')"; $result=mysql_query($sql); if($result){ echo "<h1 class=status_green>Your Post has been added successfully</h1>"; } // close connection mysql_close(); } else{ echo "<h1 class=status_red>Unfortunitly there has been a problem, Please try and resubmit your thread.</h1>"; }; ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/192459-redirecting-to-thread-a-user-has-just-submitted/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
schilly Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 if($result){ $thread_id = mysql_insert_id(); header("Location: path_to_thead.php?id=$thread_id"); } something like that.

andrew_biggart Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Ok that has made me get my head around it alittle more but it still isnt working, problem one is that i get the error echo, and problem 2 is there is no redirect. This is what i changed it to. <?php include("config.php"); if(isset($_POST['add_topic'])){ $Post_username=$_SESSION['myusername']; $Post_subject=$_POST['Post_subject']; $Post_message=$_POST['Post_message']; $Post_tags=$_POST['Post_tags']; $Post_type=$_POST['Post_type']; $Post_pp=$_SESSION['myavatar']; $sql="INSERT INTO biggartfp9_forum_threadst (Post_username, Post_pp, Post_date, Post_subject, Post_message, Post_tags, Post_type)VALUES('$Post_username', '$Post_pp', NOW(), '$Post_subject', '$Post_message', '$Post_tags', '$Post_type')"; $result=mysql_query($sql); if($result){ $Post_id = mysql_insert_id(); header("Location: forum_view.php?Post_id=$Post_id"); } // close connection mysql_close(); } else{ echo "<h1 class=status_red>Unfortunitly there has been a problem, Please try and resubmit your thread.</h1>"; }; ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/192459-redirecting-to-thread-a-user-has-just-submitted/#findComment-1014094 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cant get my head around what to do next?? <?php include("config.php"); if(isset($_POST['add_topic'])){ $Post_username=$_SESSION['myusername']; $Post_subject=$_POST['Post_subject']; $Post_message=$_POST['Post_message']; $Post_tags=$_POST['Post_tags']; $Post_type=$_POST['Post_type']; $Post_pp=$_SESSION['myavatar']; $sql="INSERT INTO biggartfp9_forum_threadst (Post_username, Post_pp, Post_date, Post_subject, Post_message, Post_tags, Post_type)VALUES('$Post_username', '$Post_pp', NOW(), '$Post_subject', '$Post_message', '$Post_tags', '$Post_type')"; $result=mysql_query($sql); if($result){ $Post_id = mysql_insert_id(); header("Location: forum_view.php?Post_id=$Post_id"); } else{ echo "<h1 class=status_red>Unfortunitly there has been a problem, Please try and resubmit your thread.</h1>"; }; // close connection mysql_close(); } else{ } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/192459-redirecting-to-thread-a-user-has-just-submitted/#findComment-1014098 Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_biggart Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Ok i have did abit of error checking and i can echo the result as a link which works, so the problem is with the redirecting... This is the whole page is there anything that would conflict with the redirection? <?php session_start(); if(isset($_SESSION['myusername'])) { } else{ header("location:register.php"); } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html dir="ltr" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <!-- #BeginTemplate "default.dwt" --> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <!-- #BeginEditable "doctitle" --> <title>Home | Sign In | Register | Cont</title> <!-- #EndEditable --> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <link href="../css/layout.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="../css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="../css/content.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="../js/jquery-latest.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../js/scrolltopcontrol.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../js/dropdown_menu.js"></script> <style type="text/css"> .style1 { border-width: 0px; } a { color: #C2E115; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <a name="top_page" id="top_page"></a> <div id="masthead"> <form method="post"> <table class="masthead" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 740px; height: 63px"> <tr> <td class="homelink" rowspan="2"> <a href="default.php"><img alt="iloveartonline | Homepage" height="63" src="../images/homelink_bg.png" width="450" class="style1" /></a> </td> <td class="subnav"> <?php if(isset($_SESSION['myusername'])) { echo " <a href='default.php'>Home</a> | <a href='my_account.php'>Account</a> | <a href='basket.php'>Shopping Cart</a> | <a href='logout.php'>Logout</a> "; } else{ echo " Welcome Guest, You are not Logged in.

ldb358 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 a header cant be sent after any content has been printed add: ob_start(); what this does is it keeps the page from outputting content so add: ob_end_flush(); at the end of your page to display the contents of the page as normal(assuming there hasn't been a redirect) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/192459-redirecting-to-thread-a-user-has-just-submitted/#findComment-1014145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
schilly Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 yes you can't have echo'd any code to the browser when you do a redirect. This includes any debug stuff you are printing to the screen. also add a exit(); after the redirect.
