Question

I am trying to redirect to page using php with the ‘?’ operator to get the id in the next page, is this the correct statement to do so? I am being redirected to the page but the url shows : http://localhost/mysql/welcome.php only.

Where am i going wrong?

here’s the statement:

echo '<script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
     window.location = "../mysql/welcome.php?id='.$id.'";
      -->
     </script>';

Answer 1

Yes it’s valid but HTML comments aren’t needed:

echo '<script type="text/javascript">    
     window.location = "../mysql/welcome.php?id='.$id.'";    
     </script>';

But I would do this server side though:

header("Location: ../mysql/welcome.php?id=$id");
