How do youI open a new page without user response?

[tbrowne]

I'd like to have users fill in the contents of a form and click the submit button. PHP code on that page will validate the entries and call a confirmation page if the entries are correct. If not correct, the user will be asked to correct the errors.

I'm not sure how to call the next page without the user clicking a next button. I know this must be easy, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Thanks!

[tt]header('Location: nextpage.php');[/tt]
would redirect the user to [tt]nextpage.php[/tt].

The best way to do this is to make a JavaScript script that will check the content of the form and then if all content is all right it will redirect you to the another php page. There are many ways how to redirect your page. Danielhozac mantioned one of them which is most commonly used in php scripts but remember, that header() function must be located before any HTML output to the browser.

Personally I use javascript.

The simpliest form:

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
window.location='whatever.php?whateverquerystring=whatevervalue';
</script>

yup but what danielhozac said can only suit for this as the redirection is after validation....

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

the advantage of using Javascript to redirect is that you can do it even after you have sent headers (eg cache control).

yeah but the problem is that it will take server time and bandwith...
