how do I redirect to a secrete page after a php login? at he moment it just hovers in the welcome page

online link

U N: PHP

Pw: webforumz

[flann]

the code to redirect using php is

Code: Select all

header ("Location: page_to_go_to.php");

To use this though, you can't send any header information to the browser. Normally what people do is, put the page that will handle the form in the action of your form. Once the form is submitted, it'll goto this page, make a decision whether to send them back to the form page or use the header to redirect them to another page.

Ok after placing my location code in my script nothing happens. Where should it be place? I just want to move on with my life!!!!

Code: Select all

<?php
header ("Location: page_to_go_to.php");
?>

Very first thing in the document or it won't work. As a matter of fact, most people just put this and only this in the document, so save this to a php file and submit the form to it. Then check to see if successful and based on its success submit it to the correct page.

Code: Select all

if ($_POST['user'] == "Tom")
    header ("Location: Tom.php");
else
    header ("Location: notTom.php");

Thats just a sample to give you an idea, Its not the best coding for security.

just a note :

Allthough u cannot send any header information before using the header(location""); command... you can run sql queries and any other php as long as it doesnt output anything to the screen

or with javascript -> doesn't matter where in the page

Code: Select all

$content="<script type='text/javascript'>document.location.href='tom.php';</script>";
