Hi,

I am interested in making a page where it has a text box and a Submit button. And if the ext that is entered is correct, it redirects to another page. If it is wrong, it redirects to an error page.

I have this code so far:


<?
if ($question)
{
if ($question=='DevsDancin, devsdancin, ladybug070, Ladybug070')
{
header("Location: fullurlofpage")
}
else
{
header("Location: fullurlofwrongpage");
}
}
?>

Can you please help me out?

Thanks, th3gh05t

Welcome here !

Your explanation is rather vague so i might be off here.
Supposing that the textbox is called 'test' and the you post the form using the postmethod, and that the complete value of $_POST['test'] needs to be one of the values from $question, then you'd have

<?php
$question= array('DevsDancin', 'devsdancin', 'ladybug070', 'Ladybug070');
if (in_array($_POST['test'],$question)){
header('Location: fullurlofpage')
} else {
header('Location: fullurlofwrongpage');
}
?>

Ok.

But where do I put that code?

I have this so far:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<?php
$question= array('DevsDancin', 'devsdancin', 'ladybug070', 'Ladybug070');
if (in_array($_POST['test'],$question)){
header('Location: fullurlofpage')
} else {
header('Location: fullurlofwrongpage');
}
?>
<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<input name="test" type="text" id="test">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

</form>
</body>
</html>

Headers have to be before any output to the browser, which includes html

Parse error: parse error in /home/drossler/www/test.php on line 5

Missing semi-colon at the end of this line

header('Location: fullurlofpage');

Ok. This is what I have now. When I load up the page, there are no errors, and when I enter a value into the text box and hit Submit, nothing happens. The text gets cleared, and looks like the page reloads.

<?php
if ($question)
{
$question= array('DevsDancin', 'devsdancin', 'ladybug070', 'Ladybug070');
if (in_array($_POST['test'],$question)){
header('Location: http://www.google.com');
} else {
header('Location: http://news.google.com');
}
}
?>
<html>

Change this line:

if ($question)

to

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

And also put the name of the page you are making in the action="" spot :o
