[PHP] Redirecting

Ok, any1 know how do i echo something Like

if( isset($_POST['lol']) )
there is a Function now, it is gonna insert something in the mssql db.. But when that is done i want that the Form gets closed and then there is a echo like 'You item had been submitted succesfull!' Or something like that.. But that they can only see the Form once for security reasons

Here a Form Code i use :P not exacly the same but you wil understand my idea.. i hope..

<form method="post" action="index.php">
<tr>
<td>
<input type="submit" name="lol" value="get" />
</td>
</tr>
</form>

I am a 13 yo dutch boy sorry if you dont understand it my english is'nt that good:P

Tyvm if you can help me :D

I'm a 13 year old dutch boy too :P:

Form.php:

PHP Code:

---

<?php
//Whatever :P
?>
<form method="post" action="index.php">
<tr>
<td>
<input type="submit" name="lol" value="get" />
</td>
</tr>
</form>

---

index.php

PHP Code:

---

<?php
if( isset($_POST['lol']) )
{
//Do your thing =)
if (mssql_query("Query or w/e here"))
{
echo "Successfully executed!";
echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='1;FILE.PHP' />"; //Change 1 to amount of sec. to wait, change file to the file that you want to redirect to after the echo.
}
}
?>
//HTML HERE

Lol, kids... :P

Easier way, for quicker redirection, is this:

PHP Code:

---

header('Location: blah/blah.php'); 


---

But you need to make sure PHP form checking code comes before the form echo'ing itself, which is good practise anyways.

Deavius i dont understand you :S But lol much dutch guys on Ragezone :P, i use eurobellen if you know that :p Its uses <?php
$ebcheck = file_get_contents("http://www.eurobellen.nl/bel/check.php?userid=myid:P&ebpin=".$_GET['ebpin']);
if($ebcheck!="OK") {
echo "Je moet toch echt betalen:P ($ebcheck)";
exit;
}
?>
With the header idea tought it wont work ;s First im gonna try the other 1's :P

But if he wants to echo something, he can't use header afterwards :rolleyes:

Here is a redirection with a 3 second count down. I added in a javascript that will show a counter counting down from 3

PHP Code:

---

<?php
header('Refresh: 3; URL=DESTINATION URL HERE') ;
?>
Page will redirect in 3 seconds...
<form name="counter"><input type="text" size="8" 
name="d2"></form> 

<script> 
<!-- 
// 
 var milisec=0
 var seconds=3
 document.counter.d2.value='3' 

function display(){ 
 if (milisec<=0){ 
    milisec=9 
    seconds-=1 
 } 
 if (seconds<=-1){ 
    milisec=0 
    seconds+=1 
 } 
 else 
    milisec-=1 
    document.counter.d2.value=seconds+"."+milisec 
    setTimeout("display()",100) 
} 
display() 
--> 
</script>

thnx, but i just want a echo what gets the Form away and says "Well Done" or something :p

Ok i used the function redirect(""); Now.. it works.. But is there a thing so if they press Previous or something for going back to the index.php that they can't go to there..

You can always put header() on top of your script. Or like this

PHP Code:

---

if ( $whatever == "whatever" ) //or $result it he wants it after some query
{
    header('refresh: 5; page.php');
    echo 'you are being redirected in 5 seconds';
}

True, that's why you shouldn't echo things before the logic part, template engines help with this.

#1 You can still set cookies or change location via headers
#2 You don't have unnecessary bandwidth, echo'ing HTML while it won't be displayed (if you use the meta tag, it first has to send the HTML data, read and only then it will change page). Headers are quicker and smaller ;)
