How to make a form using HTML/PHP with conditional responses based on zip code?

 

What I want to do exactly...

zip codes 91900-92600 go to URL www.example.com after submit.

All others go to URL www.example.com/page after submit.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Well I think there are more solutions, but I think if you put an if-clause at the beginning of your script  that checks if the submit button is pressed and checks the zip i think your already there.

here goes nothing ;)

 

Put the following before the <html> element (also this requires you to use the post method action and 'submit as name for the submit button, and zipcode as html variable.

 

<?php
       //retrieve zip variable from the html form
           $zip = $_POST['zipcode'];

           // the if-clause
           if(isset($_POST['submit'])){ // so if submit is pressed....
                if ($zip!=''&& $zip >= 91900 && $zip <= 92600){      // if $zip is not empty, and 91900-92600, execute

                header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/zip_page.html' ) ; // the header will automatically redirect
             }
           }
       
?>

 

Hope this helps a bit ;-) good luck have fun!

When you say "after submit." do you mean the user ends on that page or the script processes the data on that page,

if its just where the user ends up then have your form post to a "processing page" and then have a  condition to redirect you

(revised code from fortnox007)

// the if-clause
           if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
                      $zip = $_POST['zipcode'];
                      if ($zip!=''&& $zip >= 91900 && $zip <= 92600){
                                 header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/zip_page.html' ) ; // the header will automatically redirect
                      }else{
                                 header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/nonzip_page.html' ) 
                      }
           }
