how to do a 'forward' ?? 1

[frag]

hi!

I have a HTML-form that contains three different submit-buttons (same name, different values). If one of the buttons is pressed, the page will call the php-page defined with 'action=' in the form-tag.

On the second page I check which of the three buttons have been pressed. Depending on the result I want to call one of three possible pages... so I need a possibility to 'auto-forward' to a certain page from anywhere in the php-code (I know there is a solution to auto-forward within the header-tag, but this is not what I am looking for).

Do you have any suggestions??

You can't do this in a nice way without using header. to solve the "headers already sent" errors, you could use output buffering, read about it at

it's me again... sorry, I am new to php!

can I do something like this:

header("Location: somepage.php?var1=" + $HTTP_POST_VARS["input"]; )

or that:

$myValue = $HTTP_POST_VARS["input"];
header("Location: somepage.php?var1=" + $myValue);

???

header("Location: somepage.php?var1=$myValue"
