re-direct php page with ajax

[Pawan_Agarwal]

I know how to implement ajax with php and get output with the help of java-script and ajax...

 

Well, I am just trying to re-direct the page using ajax, but, it is not happening........

 

What I am doing is that after user logged-in successfully, the email and password are going to check by ajax and if the inputs are correct, the page must re-direct to another page...

 

So, far I am able to verify the correct details, but, the page is not re-directing... You must also see that I want to re-direct the page with ajax only................I am able to redirect the page with java-script but I do not want to include re-direction with java-script in my website !!

 

Thanks for helping me out !!

Redirecting a page with Ajax? That makes no sense at all.

 

Do you know what Ajax is?

I have java -script code 

 

<script type="text/javascript">

function findName()

{

 str = document.getElementById("num").value;

 

 var xmlhttp;

if (str=="")

  {

  document.getElementById("answer").innerHTML="";

  return;

  }

if (window.XMLHttpRequest)

  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari

  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();

  }

else

  {// code for IE6, IE5

  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

  }

xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()

  {

  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)

    {

    document.getElementById("answer").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;

    }

  }

xmlhttp.open("GET","details.php?q="+str,true);

xmlhttp.send();

}

</script>

 

################### details.php ################### 

<?php

echo $_REQUEST['q'];

?>

################### details.php ################### 

 

when user click on button, details.php execute and it prints on the page , I understand this as ajax

So, how does it make sense to use ajax to redirect a user to another page?

I think you should just submit and use php header() to redirect. Using Ajax is great to save time and bandwidth so the entire page need not be retransmitted from the server but there is no advantage to using it to redirect since after the redirect the server will transmit the entire page anyway. Even if you can get it to work it does not save you time or bandwidth.
