Directing to another page after successful form submission

Posted: Fri Mar 31, 2017 12:23 am

I have been having trouble figuring this out. I have spent hours with google and trying different ways to hack my way to success, so I am hoping some of you experts can help me.

Everything posts fine (to the db) with the following code but it stays on the form afterward. I would like to get it to redirect to another page.

Code:

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {   


    echo "<div style='width=800px; text-align:center'><h1 style='text-align:center'>New record successfully created.</h1></div>";   


} else {


    echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;


}

I have tried several different ways to get it to go to another page after a successful submission:

Code:

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {   


    header: ("Location: redirect.php");


} else {


    echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;


$conn->close();


}





}

This give me the following message:

Quote:

The file requested was not found
Hint: Verify that the file exists - Filenames are usually case sensitive - Check for spelling errors

Refered From : https://clanfga.com/modules.php?name=Member_Info
Your IP : 73.37.41.223
Page Requested : /modules.php?name=ErrorDocuments&file=404&rs=500.shtml
Agent : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
Redirect Status : 200

Putting the following right before the closing form tag does not do anything different that without it. I have tried several different iterations of that code, including using the full URL of the file. I have also tried putting it right after $conn->close(); but before the final } in the previous code.

Code:

<!---- Including PHP File Here ---->


<?php


include "redirect.php";


?>

Obviously, I don't have a clue what I am doing. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I figured it out. I was using a direct link to the file, after I created a module for the specific page it worked fine.

Code:

header ('Location: redirect.php') // does not work


header ('Location: /modules/Redirect/index.php') // WORKED

Thanks for taking a look.
