Greetings all,
My Name is Phillip.
I am new to programming and PHP. I just started late last week to learn both of these web development tools.
I am dropping a note as I am creating a form in PHP to handle data and load it into a MySQL DB. The question I have is what parameters do I use to pass the user to a specific page after they enter information into form.
The code I am basing this off of is from the webmonkey tutorial.
<?php
if ($submit)
{
//Process the form
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root");
mysql_select_db("test",$db);
$sql = "insert into employees (first,last,address,position) values ('$first','$last','$address','$position')";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
echo "Thank you! Information entered.\n";
}
else
{
//Display the form to fill out
?>
<FORM ACTION="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>" METHOD="post">
First Name: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="first" SIZE="20"><BR>
Last Name: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="last" SIZE="20"><BR>
Address: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="address" SIZE="20"></TEXTAREA><BR>
Position: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="position" SIZE="20"><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="Enter Information">
</FORM>
<?php
//Close the if statment
}
?>
So basically instead of the echo statement when someone submits the form. I would like to take them to another URL.
How would I specify that?
Thanks
Phillip
