URL redirect code for submit button

[scoobysteve]

Hey folks is there any easy way that I can add code to the following code to create a redirect to an external URL

<input type="submit" value="<?php echo $PLS_LANG['front_register_submit']; ?>" onclick="return VRL.Utils.submitRegistrationForm('frmPLRegister');" />

Thanks in advance
Steve

I'm not sure i'm understanding what you're asking.... if you mean you want your form to submit to another site, you can just set your action attribute to be the page receiving the form submission. if you want to process the submission locally and then redirect, the way that i do all redirects is in a functions.php that i require first in every script. in that script, i have this function:

Code: Select all


function redirect_to( $location = NULL ) {
   if ($location != NULL) {
      header("Location: {$location}");
      exit;
      }
   }


that way I can just call that function to send the user wherever

Thank you for your reply, I need the form data to be entered into the normal page but then divert to a external url, I think I understand what your saying, but where in the existing code are the changes to be make to call this page,

what needs to be entered into this code to call the php page you mention,

<input type="submit" value="<?php echo $PLS_LANG['front_register_submit']; ?>" onclick="return VRL.Utils.submitRegistrationForm('frmPLRegister');" />

So I create a php page called direct.php and in that page I put your code is that correct.

Sorry I am a newbie so please excuse my ignorance.

Kind Regards
Steve

No worries man. If the external url is to process the form data, just do it like this;

Code: Select all

<form action="http://seandisanti.com/tryit.php" method="post">
   <input type="text" name="echoString" />
   <input type="submit" />
</form>


that code works if you want to see a cross site submission


***edit***
also, here's the code for the page at seandisanti.com/tryit.php

Code: Select all

<?php
   echo (isset($_POST['echoString']))?strip_tags($_POST['echoString']):'You must post a variable named echoString to have it displayed';

Thanks for your response, I am really sorry I am being really thick here, the redirect is only to a static page, there is no external processing. BUT the script I posted has to run on the server to add the data from the form to the database.

The below script cant change as I dont think the data will be added as it should be, I was hoping that it could be modified a little or have a little bit added onto it to allow for a redirect after it has processed the form data, I dont see this code anywhere on the snippets you have posted so I am really confused as to where your code should be, I am sorry this is probably getting to hard for me to understand. I just thought that maybe it was just a extra piece of code to be added so after the data was processed it directed to a static html page I needed which was on another url location.

I am trying to improve on a vacation rental script I purchased, because on the existing logon/register page. if a new user registers after they hit submit the page doesn't do anything, so its confusing to the new user that all they need to do is login, if it diverted away they would at least know something had happened.

Sorry to be a pain if this is too much to ask I understand and thanks for your input so far. Steve

without seeing your code, i can't really tell you what changes would be necessary. if you put the redirect_to() function from my first response in a file named functions.php, and then do require('functions.php'); as the first line of your html form page then you'll be able to call redirect_to at any point in your page.

i would just write a function to do your database work, and then have that function call the redirect on success...

OK man,

thanks for having a go for me, much appreciated, I have attached the php file that contains the submit button code just in case you can see anything easy, sorry to be a pain it would be really nice to sort this of poss.

By the way had to rename the file did not like php files as you can imagine. OK it would not let me upload any txt, pdf files so here is the code on the page it is below.

Cheers
Steve
