Changing Form Action Field

[tauhan]

Hi there,

 

I was wondering if it was possible to change a forms action field with PHP.

 

Basically, if there are several checkboxes for the user to select and a specific checkbox was selected, how would I redirect users to an alternative webpage on submit?

 

I've been playing around with several methods, and one of them was:

 

<?php

if(isset($_POST['Example']) &&
   $_POST['Example'] == 'FormValueGoesHere')
{
    echo ('./page1.php');
}
else
{
    echo ('./page2.php');
}   

?>

 

But the form action would only display page1.php even with nothing selected.

 

Maybe I'm just being stupid because it's getting late, but I'd appreciate any assistance.

 

Thanks

Try just include()ing the right PHP file...

Instead of echo try  header('location: ./page1.php');

That is assuming page1.php is in one folder above the current page

Re-direction to a different page isn't going to work for you, if the $_POST or $_GET array is set, as the new page will not have access to those variables.  Like requinix stated, use an include.
