Form Actions ?!!

[halm1985]

How would the ACTION part of the form look like if i want to do the following :

 

Upon SUBMIT

1- execute SQL query THEN

2- go to Home Page

 

 

 

[lighton]

action="page.php"

 

page.php would be something like this

if(isset($_POST['submitted']))

{

//do some stuff run sql etc

// as long as you dont print anything the the page if you must use output buffering

 

$url = home page etc

header("LOCATION: $url)

}

i dont know how much you know, so does this make sense?

 

[halm1985]

isn't it possible to put multiple actions in the "action" part

 

Like <FORM ...........................  action = "$sql , homepage.php"

 

in other words : must it be only one action ?

Not sure what you mean by your last question but here's what I use:

if ($_POST['subaction']) {
  RUN QUERIES HERE
  header("Location: your URL here");
  exit;
}

 

Then in your HTML have your submit button called "subaction" or whatever you want to call it but be sure to keep the name of the submit in the $_POST the same - after all, you're checking to see if the button has been clicked.

 

Remember to use exit() after the header() to stop the code from continuing.
