I'm building a form for an organisation that organises a workshop for teenagers. There is an option to bring one or both parents to the workshop. So for each parent, there's a dropbox to answer the question "Will you participate in the workshop as well?" Depending if one, both or no parents will join, the user will be redirected to a different url after submiting (submit is always in the same place). The form is built with chronoforms in Joomla.

This is the code for the dropdowns, please note that I can't change the values "Ja" or "Nee" because these option values are also sent to an exterior, custom made program so i'm not allowed to change it. Code for the dropdowns:

 <select class="cf_inputbox validate-selection required" id="select_17" size="1" title="verplicht veld" name="oudersessieouder1" style="width: 193px;">
    <option value="">Make your choice</option>
<option value="Ja">Yes, will participate</option>
<option value="Nee">No, will not participate</option>
    </select><label class="cf_label" style="width: 150px;"> Will this parent join the workshop?</label>

<select class="cf_inputbox validate-selection required" id="select_18" size="1" title="verplicht veld" name="oudersessieouder2" style="width: 193px;">
    <option value="">Make your choice</option>
<option value="Ja">Yes, will participate</option>
<option value="Nee">No, will not participate</option>
    </select><label class="cf_label" style="width: 150px;"> Will this parent join the workshop?</label>

And this is the after submitting, here I can write the code to redirect depending on the values of the previous two dropdowns:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>bedankt</title>
</head>

<body>
<script>

if (one parent comes, so one of the 2 dropdown values will be "Ja")
window.location.replace("http://www.website.be/inschrijven-pe-jongeren-1-parent.html")
else if (both parents come, so both dropdown values will be "Ja")
window.location.replace("http://www.website.be/inschrijven-pe-jongeren-both-parents.html")
else
window.location="http://www.website.be/inschrijven-pe-jongeren.html"
</script>
<p align="center"> </p>
</body>
</html>

So...are you just wondering how to test the values of your drop downs? Your select boxes are named "oudersessieouder1" and "oudersessieouder2".

 

The page that processes the drop downs would use $_POST or $_GET to access the information depending on what your <form> tag's method is set to. If it's set to POST, you can access the first select box with

$_POST['oudersessieouder1']

Note that you could use PHP's header() function to perform the redirects. More information can be found here:

Based on the dropdown values, you want to redirect users to different page, right?

 

I consider you will button in the form. On clicking the button, call below function...

function redirect() {
   if(document.getElementById('select_17').value == 'Ja' && document.getElementById('select_18').value == 'Ja') {
     window.location.replace = 'both parents url';
   } else if(document.getElementById('select_17').value != 'Ja' && document.getElementById('select_18').value != 'Ja') {
     window.location.replace = 'both parents not coming url';
   } else {
     window.location.replace = 'one parents coming url';
   }
}

Instead of oudersessieouder1 and oudersessieouder2

Just create an array by naming the select tags this:

 

<select name='oudersessieouder[]' ....>

 

Then you can just count how many values are in oudersessieouder

 

 

if( oudersessieouder1.length == 1 ) open 1 parent page
else if ( oudersessieouder1.length == 2) open 2 parent page

Based on the OP I don't think he can change the select fields. I would go with a header() redirect as cyberRobot suggested.

 

 

<?php
 
$parentAttendees = 0;
 
//Determine how many parents will attend
if(isset($_POST['oudersessieouder1']) && $_POST['oudersessieouder1']=='Ja')
{
    $parentAttendees++;
}
if(isset($_POST['oudersessieouder2']) && $_POST['oudersessieouder2']=='Ja')
{
    $parentAttendees++;
}
 
//Determine the page to redirect to
if($parentAttendees==1) {
    //Redirect for one parent attendee
    $redirect = "pageForOneParentAttendees.php";
} elseif ($parentAttendees==2) {
    //Redirect for two parent attendees
    $redirect = "pageForTwoParentAttendees.php";
} else {
    //Redirect for No parent attendees
    $redirect = "pageForNoParentAttendees.php";
}
 
//Perform the redirecr
header("Location: {$redirect}");
exit();
 
?>
