[RESOLVED] Page Issue !!!

[aNubies]

Guys, since i am starting to learn php. I have this issue wherein, when it comes in validation how im going to control the page where the user make take place. I mean when you put a action in a <form> tag, when you click a button with it whether the inputed data is correct or not it will proceed to the specify page. But i want that if the user input a wrong data the page will retain, however, if the data is correct the page that i will specify will be loaded.

Like this "Admin Login"

if inputed a wrong data the login page will retain and it will display a message but if the data is correct it will go in the other page. I already manage the validation but the page that will be loaded is a problem. So How to do it.

The easiest method would be to send the form to a page that will handle the data verification. Then, depending on the results, you can redirect to the page you want. So:

login.php sends data to login_handle.php
login_handle.php validates the data
-correct login, set the session variable, redirect to admin.php
-incorrect login, don't set the session variable, redirect to login.php?error=true (with error=true so you can show an error in the login page to indicate that it failed)

Very silly hah thanks

by the way how to do it ? redirecting

[manavo11]

Redirection:

<?php
header("Location: page.php");
?>

Make sure you haven't outputted any data though before you run this code (no HTML sent).
