Can I re-detect by what is a form?

chaos67731 · August 6, 2010

I am making a demo page that I want to add a form to.

The way I want this for to work is.

Say you are at demo.com

Now you are a client I am working with so I have given you a number.

This form will as for that number and on submit it will take you to

demo.com/"client number"

Here is what I have done.

What is in my index.php

<form>

</form>

What is in my search.php

<?php

$newurl = "http://demo.mysite.com/";

$newurl .=$_GET['button'];

echo "$newurl";

/*header("Location: $newurl"); */

?>

--------------------------------------------------

I have also tried taking out the search.php and having everything in index.php

<form>

</form>

<?php

$newurl = "http://demo.mysite.com/";

$newurl .=$_GET['button'];

echo "$newurl";

/*header("Location: $newurl"); */

?>

First off, you have a double <form>, second, you need to assign a method to your form (add method="get" inside the form tag). Third, why are you echoing the URL before you send the header? The header has to be sent before any output to the browser or you'll get an error, just take out the echo. Fourth, did you put the header tag inside comment tags on purpose?

Fifth, not sure about a fifth, I didn't look it over too finely, just enough to catch some glaring errors.

The double <form> was a miss type.

The header tag was in comments on purpose, I should of taken that out before posting.

This is now the full page that I have. And it is still not working.

Here is a link to a testing site.

And Here is all the code I have in it.

Any help would be great.

Input type attribute should be submit.

    <form method="get" action="">
      <input id="button" name="button" type="text" />
      <input type="submit" value="SEARCH" />
    </form>

Or else use javascript to submit.

 <input type=”button” name=”buttonn” value=”Submit” onClick=”javascript:document.formName.submit();”>

chaos67731 · August 8, 2010

I just tried both of them and every time I submit the client id I get sent to this link.

http://chaos67731.com/?button=1000

1000 is the test page I put up just for testing this out.

So I am trying to get it to redirect me to

http://chaos67731.com/demo/1000/

linus72982 · August 9, 2010

If I understand you correctly, you'll want something like this:

<?php
$newurl = "Location: http://chaos67731.com/demo/".$_GET['button'];
header ($newurl);

?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Demo Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
html { background:#799ABC url(images/site-bg.png) repeat-x top left; }
#main {
      width:700px;
      height:640px;
      margin:50px auto;
      border:0px solid #111;
      background:url(images/logo-bk.png) no-repeat;
}
#main .opening {
      padding-top:250px;
      font-weight:bolder;
      text-align:center;
      text-transform:uppercase;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main">
  <p class="opening">To get to your demo splash page enter you client id in the search field below.</p>
  <p>
  <center>
    <form method="get" action="http://chaos67731.com/">
      <input id="button" name="button" type="text" />
      <input type="submit" value="SEARCH" />
    </form>
    <strong>
    <?php
  echo "$newurl";
  ?>
    </strong>
  </center>
  </p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

I was just assuming the page URL for where this page is located was http://chaos67731.com/

If it is something different, you'll want to change the action= portion of the form tag to equal whatever the URL is.

The thing is, you want the submit to process at the top of this very page and then header to the website you want. That is accomplished at the top with the parsing of the GET variable into the header, but first the submit has to point right back to the page so it will essentially "refresh" and start from the beginning.

linus72982 · August 10, 2010

Oh, and I overlooked this at first, you'll want the top to look like this to prevent the code from triggering the first time the person visits the page:

<?php
if (isset($_GET)){
$newurl = "Location: http://chaos67731.com/demo/".$_GET['button'];
header ($newurl);}
?>

Hope that didn't cause too much headache, I was lost in a fog yesterday

chaos67731 · August 10, 2010

That did not seem to work, as soon as I go to chaos67731.com it auto redirects me to http://chaos67731.com/demo/ .

This thing has been such a pain for the last week, I have for now just left it where the link pops up after the client puts in the client id.

linus72982 · August 10, 2010

Try this instead:

if (isset($_GET['button'])){

To prevent the auto-redirect.

Try this instead:
if (isset($_GET['button'])){
To prevent the auto-redirect.

I ended up getting it to work, you can test it out at chaos67731.com (I will take down some time or a nother) just type in demo/1000

<?php
$newurl = "http://chaos67731.com/";
$newurl .=$_GET['client_number'];

if(isset($_POST['client_number']) && is_dir($_POST['client_number'])) {
    header('Location: /'.$_POST['client_number']);
} elseif(isset($_POST['client_number'])) {
    $error = '<span class="error"><p>Invalid client number!</p> </span><br>If You Have Any Questions Or Are Having Problems Getting To Your Splash Page Feel Free To Send Me An E-Mail At <span><a href="mailto:chaos67731@gmail.com">chaos67731@gmail.com</a> </span>';
}
?>

The Full page look like this if it would help anyone!

<? ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); ?>  
<?php
    $newurl = "http://chaos67731.com/";
    $newurl .=$_GET['client_number'];
    
    if(isset($_POST['client_number']) && is_dir($_POST['client_number'])) {
        header('Location: /'.$_POST['client_number']);
    } elseif(isset($_POST['client_number'])) {
        $error = '<span class="error"><p>Invalid client number!</p> </span><br>If You Have Any Questions Or Are Having Problems Getting To Your Splash Page Feel Free To Send Me An E-Mail At <span><a href="mailto:chaos@gmail.com">chaos67731@gmail.com</a> </span>';
