Open New URL window

19/09/2007, 23h50

I am new to PHP and to email lists so I apologize in advance.

What I am trying to do is to take a password from user input, check
it to make sure it is == to something, say “burgers”

My problem is, I do not know how to make the Else statement...
How do I get it to open a new url?
I want it IF yes open this page, else open this page
or
If it is not correct then Say the password is incorrect or
something…
Else
Open a different webpage

My last attempt:
---------------
<BODY onLoad="top.window.focus()">

<?php

// Define your password
$password = "burgers";

if ($_POST['pw'] != $password) {

?>
<TABLE BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 WIDTH=100%>

<TR>
<TD ROWSPAN=2 WIDTH=50%>

<img src="images/charlee.gif">
</TD>
<TD WIDTH=50% ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=MIDDLE>
<FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE=2><B>You'll need a password to get in here. We're
tryin' to keep out the

riff-raff.</B></FONT><BR>
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD WIDTH=50% ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=BOTTOM>
<CENTER>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
<br />
Name: <input type="text" name="Name" />
<br />
Email: <input type="text name="email" />
<br />
What is the Current Coupon Password?: <input type="text" name="pw" />
<input type="submit" value="Get Coupon!"/>
</form>
<A HREF="index.html" TARGET="_blank"><B>Return to Char-lees</B></A></FONT>
</CENTER>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

<?php
}
else{

$file = fopen("http://www.google.com/","r";

?>

<?php
} ?>
---------------

This creates a nice small form with an image to the left.

My problem is, I do not know how to make the Else statement...
How do I get it to open a new url?
I want it IF yes open this page, else open this page

You might be in need of the header() function in php

Andrew,

try the header() function:

<?php

if ($_POST['pw'] != $password) {

?>

...show your form...

<?php

} else {

header ("otherpage.php");

}

One problem you might be having is that the < body > tag at the very top might
be sending headers to your browser before your else statement has a chance to
kick in, generating an error which reads something like, "Headers already
sent..." Try moving it to after the conditional, like this:

<?php

if ($_POST['pw'] != $password) {

?>

< BODY onLoad="top.window.focus()" >

...rest of your form...

<?php

} else {

...and so on.

Ok, so I started using the header code that was suggested:

And I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in
/home/char-lee/public_html/beta/1.php on line 3

This is the code:
-----------
<?php
if ($_POST['pw'] != burgers
{
header("Location: password.php");
}
else
{
header("Location: sept-coupon07.html");
}
?>

You'll be wanting to put burgers in quotes and close the bracket on the
line above.

if ($_POST['pw'] != 'burgers')

I suggest you find a beginners book or Google for a beginners tutorial
on PHP because it would appear you need to learn some fundamentals of
the language before continuing.

Wow, it really must be late, Thank you for pointing out that missing
parenthesis
.... 330am and now I can go to bed happy... TY VM

Ending Code for anyone listening:

Get PW from another .php page using:

<form action="passwordcheck.php" method="post">
<br />
What is the Password?: <input type="text" name="pw" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit!"/>
</form>

This is the passwordcheck.php code:
<?php
if ($_POST['pw'] != burgers)
{
header("Location: password.php");
}
else
{
header("Location: sept-coupon07.html");
}
?>

You might want to quote that as well:

'burgers'

otherwise php will look for a defined value called 'burgers', ie:

php will look for this:

define('burgers', 'xyz');

and try to compare against that (in this case the real password is 'xyz').

If you turn up error reporting:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

and display errors:

ini_set('display_errors', true);

you would see a message about this.
