RE: [PHP-WIN] Redirect browser to another URL?

Hi Max Well it seems you are messing around with text files rather than a database - this sounds like hard work :) I'm not sure I fully understand your issue but are you saying you could not make the code 'refresh' the comments data on the form page without a javascript redirect? What happens if you switch off javascript in your browser - does it fail?

You know, this is exactly what happened to me. I was trying to design a comments page for a weblog to open in a popup. The page had a submission form that would submit back to itself. 'course, I was banging my head on the wall trying to come up with a way to get the page to detect whether it had received a form submission and write the comments to a comment file, and then include the comment file with the form afterwards. I kept coming up with the results of fopen(), fputs(), fflush(), and fclose() coming back as false, which equals failed. I eventually did go to a separate page to do the file writing, and that page finishes up with a 1-second delay using the javascript setTimeout() for this command in a standalone function: echo "location.replace('blogcomments.php?target=".$target."');\n"; Inelegant, but it works. I haven't had too much experience with the header function, and knowing how long it took me to bang this one out, I might set something on fire trying it :) Anyone else had any fun with this issue?
