I have a simple 4 page application using PHP sessions. Page 1 asks for username/password, page 2 asks for some information, page 3 displays some results and asks for more info and page 4 is the "success" page. When they are at page 4 I want them to be able to press my submit button and go back to page 2, retaining the username/password from earlier in the session. However, all the pages are named sell-books.php.
I tried using
<?php
header('Location: '.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
?>
and
$_SESSION['next_page'] = "point";
The first just gives an error (I have it as the action for a form in an external file)
and the second does not redirect to the page...the page I want to redirect to is a function named request_point()
You need to do something with the session variable, e.g.
if ($_SESSION['next_page'] == "point") {
request_point();
}
