if condition { load different page }

Hi y'all,

I'm sorry if I'm asking this again, but how can I do a conditional statement in PHP that will jump out of the page/php and go to another page.

I have a search page, and if certain keywords are entered, I don't want the search page to be displayed (with or without results). Instead, I want a new page (associated with the keyword) to load. Basically, jump off the php page.

Thanks.

Rob

 

Use header().

 

Thanks. Unfortunately, that's not going to work because (and sorry for not mentioning/explaining this before) I want it to work on the submission of my form, which has to be hardcoded, right?

<form name="searchform" method="POST" action="some_page.php">

What I'd like to be able to do is make the action of the post a variable, so that I can direct to other pages. Probably asking too much.

<form name="searchform" method="POST" action="$some_var">
if(condition){$some_var="http://page.html");}

 

how you are checking the condition. the keywords here will represent as string and you need to use some string manipulation function.

 

in php just use header("Location: yourpage.php");

switch($a)
{
case 1:
header("Location: yourpage.php");
break;
case 2:
header("Location: yourpage2.php");
break;
}

also

submit your form to a page where this code resides..

there are many functions you can use in redirecting to other page/s
