Hi everyone,

I am making a site and i have a fully working register form that post information to a database. But after a submit, I would like to redirect the user to a new page, basically a "Congrats, your a member" page with some info on how to get started. Below is my current form code.

<form method="post" action="">
<fieldset>
<legend>Account Details</legend>
<p><label for="username" style="font-weight:normal;width:60%;float:left;display:block;">Username:</label> <input type="text" name="username" class="item" value="" /></p>
<p><label for="password" style="font-weight:normal;width:60%;float:left;display:block;">Password:</label> <input type="password" name="password" class="item" value="" /></p>
<p><label for="email" style="font-weight:normal;width:60%;float:left;display:block;">Email Address:</label> <input type="text" name="email" class="item" value="" /></p>
</fieldset>
<fieldset class="other">
<legend>Personal Details</legend>
<p><label for="f_name" style="font-weight:normal;width:60%;float:left;display:block;">First Name:</label> <input type="text" name="f_name" class="item" value="" /></p>
<p><label for="l_name" style="font-weight:normal;width:60%;float:left;display:block;">Last Name:</label> <input type="text" name="l_name" class="item" value="" /></p>
<p><label for="street" style="font-weight:normal;width:60%;float:left;display:block;">House Address:</label> <input type="text" name="street" class="item" value="" /></p>
</fieldset>
<fieldset class="otherqw">
<legend>Shipping Details</legend>
<p><label for="state" style="font-weight:normal;width:60%;float:left;display:block;">State:</label> <select name="state" name="state" class="item"><option value="AL">Alabama</option><option value="AK">Alaska</option><option value="AZ">Arizona</option><option value="AR">Arkansas</option><option value="CA">California</option><option value="CO">Colorado</option><option value="CT">Connecticut</option><option value="DE">Delaware</option><option value="FL">Florida</option><option value="GA">Georgia</option><option value="HI">Hawaii</option><option value="ID">Idaho</option><option value="IL">Illinois</option><option value="IN">Indiana</option><option value="IA">Iowa</option><option value="KS">Kansas</option><option value="KY">Kentucky</option><option value="LA">Louisiana</option><option value="ME">Maine</option><option value="MD">Maryland</option><option value="MA">Massachusetts</option><option value="MI">Michigan</option><option value="MN">Minnesota</option><option value="MS">Mississippi</option><option value="MO">Missouri</option><option value="MT">Montana</option><option value="NE">Nebraska</option><option value="NV">Nevada</option><option value="NH">New Hampshire</option><option value="NJ">New Jersey</option><option value="NM">New Mexico</option><option value="NY">New York</option><option value="NC">North Carolina</option><option value="ND">North Dakota</option><option value="OH">Ohio</option><option value="OK">Oklahoma</option><option value="OR">Oregon</option><option value="PA">Pennsylvania</option><option value="RI">Rhode Island</option><option value="SC">South Carolina</option><option value="SD">South Dakota</option><option value="TN">Tennessee</option><option value="TX">Texas</option><option value="UT">Utah</option><option value="VT">Vermont</option><option value="VA">Virginia</option><option value="WA">Washington</option><option value="WV">West Virginia</option><option value="WI">Wisconsin</option><option value="WY">Wyoming</option></select>
<p><label for="city" style="font-weight:normal;width:60%;float:left;display:block;">City:</label> <input type="text" name="city" class="item" value="" /></p>
<p><label for="zip" style="font-weight:normal;width:60%;float:left;display:block;">Zip/Postal:</label> <input type="text" name="zip" class="item" value="" /></p>
<p><?php
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
print "<strong>Logged Your IP:</strong>\n";
print "$ip<br />";
?>
</p>
<p><input type="submit" name="register" class="joinbtn" value=""  /></p>
</fieldset>
</form>

I cant seem to get both things working. For instance, i can redirect to a new page, but the form wont post its data to my database, but if i dont do a redirection, it posts to the database. Please help me with this problem.

Hi astereo90,

I would put in a javascript redirection on the page that takes the data and puts it into the database...

Try putting this in your page-
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location = "http://www.YOURURLHERE.com"
//-->
</script>

Hope this helps!

You can also redirect with PHP:

PHP Code:

header("Location:http://site/confirmation.php");
exit(); 


Make sure that this is done before outputting anything. That is, put it before the <html> tag because otherwise it will fail.

See: http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

Never mind, i got it to work after fooling around with my code for a while. Thanks for your replies paul and dillon!
