Can anyone help me out with this problem.

I would like to redirect/ go to another php page when my SQL insertion is
done and also send a variable at the same time.

the idea is, to come on my page for the first time and not doing anything,
then I fill up my form and insert the data (with the button "add request"
and when the oci_execute is done go to another page.

all I need to know is how to go to another page automatically... and alos
send a variable at the same time I tried something but it doesn't work...

//it's here what I tried to do:

If (oci_execute($stmt)){

oci_free_statement($stmt);
print "add_task.php?request_name=$req_name";
//header("http://127.0.0.1/add_task.php?request_name=$req_name"); // it's
here I need a solution.
};

// thanks for your help
}
=============================================================
//here is my whole php page.

<?php

// variable name of submit button of request form

$addrequest = $_POST['addrequest'];
print "$addrequest <BR>";


//test if something is submited in the form if this is the case then insert
data in DB

if ($addrequest!='') {

$req_name = $_POST['request_name'];

$req_date = $_POST['request_date'];

$req_client_id = $_POST['request_client_name'];

$req_req_type_id = $_POST['request_type'];

$req_brand_id = $_POST['request_brand_name'];
if ($req_brand_id=='Brand Name') $req_brand_id='NULL';

$req_exp_date = $_POST['request_expected_date'];

$req_comment = $_POST['request_comment'];

$c1=oci_connect("stephane","Stef1975",$bdtest05);

$query="insert into requests (
request_name, request_date, request_client_id, request_request_type_id,
request_brand_id, request_wished_delivery_date, request_comment)
values
('$req_name',to_date('$req_date','DD.MM.YYYY'),$req_client_id,$req_req_type_id,
$req_brand_id,to_date('$req_exp_date','DD.MM.YYYY'),'$req_comment')";

$stmt=oci_parse($c1,$query);

Print "$stmt <BR>";
Print "$query <BR>";

If (oci_execute($stmt)){

oci_free_statement($stmt);
print "add_task.php?request_name=$req_name";
//header("http://127.0.0.1/add_task.php?request_name=$req_name");
};
// gestion du ELse: erreur dans l'insertion en BdD

Hi,

You may only use header() *before* you output something to the client.
So you can either check the redirect condition before starting output,
or you can use output buffering [1].

The correct code to redirect the user would be
header("Location: $URL");

[1] http://www.php.net/outcontrol

Cheers, milahu

I don't know why it still doesn't work.

I do this now:


If (oci_execute($stmt)){

oci_free_statement($stmt);

header("location:http://127.0.0.1/add_task.php?request_name=$req_name");
};
// but it doesn't get me to add_task.php even without
"?request_name=$req_name"

What else can I try?

Did you also change the output thing?

This could help you debugging your script:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
Put it at the *top* of your script and the error should be reported.

If not, please post the first part of you code up to where the
redirection is done.
