php redirect

I'm making a script for inserting html pages into a database table. It's a 700-page ebook convert from pdf to html with the frames of page links on the left and navigation on the top.

Within the pages, I added textareas and a submit button within a form. Everything works. THe problem is that I need to do this manually clicking each page link on the left frame 700 times.

Since the forms on each page direct to a page where it inserts into the database table I need to put a redirect somehow that will lead to the next page. For example:

I have
http://localhost/ebooks/pg_0004.php

And I want to go to:
http://localhost/ebooks/pg_0005.php

I came up with the following script to go incrementally
http://localhost/ebooks/pg_0005.php
http://localhost/ebooks/pg_0006.php...


I'm open to any other suggestions on the script but how do I redirect to the next page automatically after the inserting into the database is finished?

	 $myarray = explode('000', $previousurl);
		foreach($myarray as $value)
			{
				$urlsnip = $value;
			}
		$thestringa = $urlsnip[0] . $urlsnip[1] . $urlsnip[2] . $urlsnip[3] . $urlsnip[4];		
		//echo $thestringa . '<br />';			
		$thestringb = $urlsnip[0] + 1 . $urlsnip[1] . $urlsnip[2] . $urlsnip[3] . $urlsnip[4];
		//echo $thestringb . '<br />';
		$newurl = str_replace($thestringa, $thestringb, $previousurl);
		
		echo $newurl;
		
		
header( 'Location: ' . $newurl ) ;
exit;

PHP:

 

if (mysql_query("INSERT INTO table VALUES ('whatever') WHERE something = 'something'")) {
    header("Location: whatever");
    exit;
}

PHP:

 

What does the insert do? If it's to insert the values into the db I have that. That's not a problem.

I'm concerned about:
1. how to add +1 to 0004.php to make it 0005.php
2. How to redirect to 0005.php.

 

Why did you wrote this then...

Anyways..

$currentPage = substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 0, -4);
$nextPage = sprintf("%04d", $currentPage + 1) . ".php";
header("Location: " . $nextPage);

PHP:

 

It says :

$currentPage = substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 0, -4);
$nextPage = sprintf("%04d", $currentPage + 1) . ".php";
header("Location: " . $nextPage); //line 120

PHP:

 

Even when I echo it doesn't show the current page and the next:

$currentPage = substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 0, -4);
$nextPage = sprintf("%04d", $currentPage + 1) . ".php";
echo $currentpage;
echo $nextpage;
//header("Location: http://localhost/ebooks/pg_0005.php");
//header("Location: " . $nextPage);

PHP:

 

If you don't mind using a bit of html:

$currentPage = substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 0, -4);
$nextPage = sprintf("%04d", $currentPage + 1) . ".php";
echo "<meta HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH content=0; url=$nextPage>";

Code (markup):

Try that.

BTW: I think your echo does not work because you have to put:

echo "$current[B]P[/B]age";

Code (markup):

 

I think that would be the best option.
Is there a way to give it a few seconds before redirecting?

 

Change content=0 to however many seconds you wish.

 

Something seems wrong though. When I echo the nextPage it shows pg_0001.php. It doesn't redirect to the proper page. I'll have a second look at it.

 

You need to exit after a php redirect

$currentPage = substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 0, -4);
$nextPage = sprintf("%04d", $currentPage + 1) . ".php";
header("Location: " . $nextPage);
exit;

PHP:

 

I tried it. It doens't work. I think the best option is to go with HTML or JavaScript.

 

$currentPage = substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 0, 7);
$nextPage = sprintf("%04d", $currentPage + 1) . ".php";
echo "<meta HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH content=0; url=$nextPage>";

Just a guess...might not work.

 

I think it needs quotes around the url right? But still didn't work.

<meta HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH content=10; url='http://localhost/ebooks/pg_0005.php'>

Code (markup):

 

there's a problem:

My previous page is:

http://localhost/ebooks/pg_0004.php

The current page is:
http://localhost/ebooks/inserttext.php
This is where the script is found:

echo "<meta HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH content=10; url=" .$newurl. ">";

PHP:

When I echo $newurl; it gives me what I need:
New URL: http://localhost/ebooks/pg_0005.php
But it never goes there. Should I put the relative path or absolute ( including the http:...but it doesn't work.)


The next page is:
http://localhost/ebooks/pg_0005.php

 

"<meta HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH content=10; url=$newurl>"

The first " canceled out the second " in yours.

 

What do you mean?
Does it have to be in the head section? Maybe that's why it doesn't work.

 

No it doesn't.

I mean when you put:

echo "<meta HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH content=10; url=" .$newurl. ">";

The sever automatically links the 2 red ones and the 2 navy ones. The double quotes at the start of the echo makes sure the script checks for any variables, so that covers that.

Or you can do:

echo '<meta HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH content=10; url=" .$newurl. ">';

 

Sorry buddy. Just realized you need it between <head></head>

My Bad..

Sorry once again.

 

But it still doesn't work:

<!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=REFRESH content=10; url="http://localhost/ebooks/pg_0005.php" />	
		<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
		<title>Untitled Document</title>
	</head>

Code (markup):

It refreshes the page instead of redirecting.
