Idea

Hi guys, this is a little messy to explain. First of all its not important, was just an idea... so either way its not worth too much though.

On my page code, its basicly setout like this

Form
php function
result

So they input some info and click submit, the php function does its job then shows them the result (which is a weblink) in the form of a hyperlink, well was a hyper link now it shows another form button, so they click this button to go to the new link.

I wanted it so when they add the info and click submit, the php will do its thing then automaticly send them to the link.. without them having to click a hyper link or anything. I couldnt set the <form action=linkhere> as this is above the php function for obvios reasons. I also thought about onlick on the submit button but was having a nightmare due to having to echo the form then in php etc etc..

I am very new to php and website programming so do forgive me, i hope the idea is clear and allows you to tell me if this is possible? thanks!!

Well if you have your php up and running,
where you have the button displaying the link...

replace that with...

$theurl = $_POST['theurl'];
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"refresh\" CONTENT=\"0;URL=$theurl\">

and make sure $theurl is set!

You should look into the [url=http://www.php.net/header]header()[/url] function-
header("Location: ".$link);

Orio.

I tried this on its own file and it worked.

<?php

$link="http://yahoo.com";
header("Location: ".$link);

?>

but the same exact same code in my php code doesn't work? just seems to ignore it?
