Function redirect to different page

Client Joined: Oct 07, 2003 Posts: 735 Location: Ohio

Let me explain.

If my page move.php has a function called like

checkmove($tid, $team_id);

Which checks to see if enemy exist on territory.

common.php has this function that ends like this.

Code:

//Look for enemy teams that may be on territory


$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . $prefix . "_tc_teams WHERE tid ='$tid' AND div_id != '$div_id'";


$result = $db->sql_query($sql); 


$enemy = FALSE;


   if ($db->sql_numrows($result) > 0) {


$enemy = TRUE; //Enemy exist on territory

If enemy = TRUE, I don't want to return $enemy to the move.php page but to redirect to attack.php page then what would be the best way to do this.

My usual redirect written like

Header("Location: modules.php?name=whatever&file=attack");

...wont send the arguments, $tid, $team_id.

The difference may be between GET vs. POST. If you are expecting $tid and $team_id to be passed into your "redirect", then they have to be included as variables on your URL. The Header redirect is acting like a form GET.

How do I include both variables into my url?

Maybe I can just pass one like this.

Header("Location: modules.php?name=whatever&file=attack&team_id = '$team_id'");

..or

Header("Refresh: 0; url=modules.php?name=whatever&file=attack&team_id = '$team_id'");

What does using this in the url do?

&mode=

I've seen this but don't know what mode is or what it could do.

Your first example should work, however, you would only use "&" and not "&". "&" will not work properly in this function. (One of the very few exceptions where you don't want to use the "&".)

If your script does not use the variable $mode, you don't need it. Wink
