Header not to go anywhere

[Lisa23]

Hi is there a way that i can set header not go anywhere like the problem with this is that it still goes to the second header is there  a way i can set if none do nothing exit? and else do the second header??

<?php
if ($_POST['agents']=="none")
{
header("location:#");
exit;
  // header("Location: {$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}");

}
else
{
header("location:http://www.xxxxxx.co.uk/tv/".$_POST['agents']."/index.php");	
}
?>

Not sure i know exactly what your getting at... if 'none' do nothing else header to x?

 

Like this?

<?php
if ($_POST['agents']=="none")  exit();

else header("location:http://www.xxxxxx.co.uk/tv/".$_POST['agents']."/index.php");
?>

you'll want to exit() after the header as well to prevent the rest of the code form executing..

[freelance84]

Yup sorry missed that:

 

<?php
if ($_POST['agents']=="none")  exit();

else{
header("location:http://www.xxxxxx.co.uk/tv/".$_POST['agents']."/index.php");
exit();
}
?>

my problem is that the form works like this

<form id="agents" action="agents_jump.php" method="post" name="agents" target="_blank" style="margin:0;">
<option value="none">Select</option>
<option value="1">Select</option>
<option value="3">Select</option>

 

and the agents_jump.php has the headers but what i want is if none dont jump to the agents_jump.php file or if it has to jump set a header to go back to previous page.

has at moment it still jumps to agents_jump.php file showing a blank file

<?php
if ($_POST['agents']=="none")  exit();

else header("location:http://www.estateagentsonfilm.co.uk/tv/".$_POST['agents']."/index.php");
?>

Something like this?

if (isset($_POST['agents']) && $_POST['agents'] != "none")
header("Location: http://www.xxxxxx.co.uk/tv/".$_POST['agents']."/index.php");
exit();
}

 

Edit: Ignore me, I thought the agents_jump file was the same file that contained the form code

[AyKay47]

if ($_POST['agents']=="none"){

      $last_page = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

      header("Location: $last_page");

}

almost perfect 1 small problem because the form opens in a new tab i opens the same page in a new tab is there a way if none either open the same page in the same tab or something like that?

 

if ($_POST['agents']=="none"){
      $last_page = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
      header("Location: $last_page" same tab);
}

[AyKay47]

well you have your form target set to blank, i would recommend getting rid of it so the form always opens in the same tab.. keeping the target blank and changing it upon $_POST['agents'] == "none" would require some JavaScript integration.. we can go that route if you want..

[Buddski]

The short answer is no.. Once the form is submitted the new window is created and PHP cannot access the original window.

Instead of using PHP to check that the field hasnt been changed from "none", you could use Javascript to ensure that the field was not left blank.

<script type="text/javascript">
function checkAgent() {
	if (document.getElementById('agent_select').selectedIndex == 0) {
		alert('Please select an Agent');
		return false;
	}
	return true;
}
</script>
<form  action="agents_jump.php" onsubmit="return checkAgent();" method="post" target="_blank" style="margin:0;">
<select name="agent" id="agent_select">
	<option value="none">Select</option>
	<option value="1">Agent 2</option>
	<option value="3">Select</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

 <form id="agents" action="agents_jump.php" onsubmit="return checkAgent();" method="post" name="agents" target="_blank" style="margin:0;">

				<select name="agents" size="1" style="width:160px; font-size:13px;">
										<option value="none">Select</option>
