I am looking to get the string variable to go to one page, new user page, while the user is directed to page 8.
</p>
<form method="GET" action="pg8.php">
<! moving variables to text file-->
<input name="input1" type="hidden" <?php echo "value=$i1" ?> >
<input name="submit1" type="hidden" <?php echo "value=$f"?> >
<input name="submit2" type="hidden" <?php echo "value=$t"?> >
<input name="submit3" type="hidden" <?php echo "value=$fa"?> >
<input name="submit4" type="hidden" <?php echo "value=$c"?> >
<input type="submit" name="submituser" value="continue">
<?php $string="$string.{$i1}.{$f}.{$t}.{$fa}.{$c}";?>
<input type="hidden" name="newuser" value=<?php echo "$string" ?> >
</form>
Use javascript for that. On submit, send data via ajax to first page. Instantly after that refer via window.location=secondpage.php to second page.
Why not use a redirect on the first stop to send the user to page 8 after you've dealt with the form?
You could accomplish this with header().
one_page.php
// deal with the form
$_GET['some_field'];
// after you're done, send the user to page 8
header('Location: pg8.php');
exit(); // to prevent from executing anything else before the redirect
And in the form, just change
<form method="GET" action="one_page.php">
This would yield the best result IMO.
form.php and clicks the submit buttonform_logic.phpform_logic.php after some calculations, the user is sent off to the final page of this form submission, say form_result.phpThis all happens very quickly and from the users perspective (depending on the amount of work you do in form_logic.php) it appears that he was sent directly to form_result.php.
