Want to add re-direct when Submit is selected

Hi,

I'm using this Upload script and would simply like to re-direct the User, after he's Uploaded, to a different location. I don't know where/how to do it?

Can you help me?
Someone suggested:
At the very bottom of this file, right after this line: return $message;
Add this: header("Location: http://whereveryouwantthemtogo.com");

Which I did, but I wasn't redirected. Any thoughts/suggestions/assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Code (markup):

 

you have
return $message;
header("Location: http://www.adifferentwebpage.com");

So your header function never runs as you return before it.
You should move it before return or out of your function.

 

Thanks for your reply.

I put the header function BEFORE the return message, it didn't re-direct.
I removed the return message, added the header function, it didn't re-direct.

I appreciate your suggestion, but no luck.

Any other ideas would be appreciated.

 

i cant know the running order of the code without executing it. But i can suggest you to use die("something"); in several lines and see if the code executes until that line correctly.
Because header should redirect if it has been executed. Also i put die(); after all redirection codes to guarantee that it wont execute below code.

Hope those will work, see you...

 

thanks for your reply.

I don't understand what you're suggesting I do with "die"

Can you clarify/elaborate?

 

You can use html, javascript aswell for a redirect only reason a header will not work is if you have already outputted a response before it was requested.

You can just echo out the html redirect which will work fine.
