Hello all! i'm new to p2p.wrox.com

i'm having a bit of trouble writing this code for a form submit! on submit the form should perform a javascript command and then load another page! the javascript part is working fine although i can't seem to get the code for the refresh right! at the moment the line looks like this:

   echo '<br><br><input type="button" value="'.$it.'" style="font-size:8px" onclick="javascript:submitit'.$ratecounter.'">';

and i want to add

header("Location: index.php?page=Voting Error");

but my syntax is always wrong and i'm getting lots of parse errors :S, can someone please write the code out for me! would be very much appreciated!

If I understand this right, you want to have your javascript execute and then throw the user to another page? If so, it is probably easier to use this line in your javascript at the end:

window.location = 'index.php?page=Voting Error';

Instead of using a php header.

yeah works fine except now the voting doesnt work!, hehe supposed to be Voting Successful not 'Voting Error' um..... the voting action doesnt work now .... the code looks like this....

<script language="javascript">
   function submitit'.$ratecounter.'() {
     if (document.rateform'.$ratecounter.'.rate.value=="x" ){
        alert ("You did not make a Rating");
     } else {
       document.rateform'.$ratecounter.'.submit();
       window.location = "index.php?page=Voting Successful";
     }
   }
   </script>

then later in the form the submit looks like ....

   echo '<br><br><input type="button" value="'.$it.'" style="font-size:8px" onclick="javascript:submitit'.$ratecounter.'();">' ;

any ideas?

You cannot have spaces in variables that are being passed through a URL. If you want to keep this, I believe you can replace a space with a '+'. I have never tried this however. If I ever need to pass a string with spaces, I use a Post. I would suggest changing your 'page' variable value to "VotingSuccessful" and make sure you modify that in your index.php file as well.
