Question

I have a jQuery Dialog set to autoOpen:true.

Thus it pops up on page load. The dialog contains two buttons

one closes it, the other opens a form,

, when I submit the form, I have set a redirect to the same page.

I would rather this `dialog’ does not appear again when the redirect (kind of refresh) happens.

I have tried using $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] and $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] as below:

   var ref_url = $('#referring_url').val();
   var cur_url = $('#current_url').val();
   var refresher = true;

   if(ref_url = cur_url)
      refresher = false;
   else
      refresher = true;

I have set the dialog autoOpen value to refresher

and then to parse the uri values from php i have used the hidden input boxes below:

<input id="referring_url" name="referring_url" id="referring_url" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; ?>" />

<input id="current_url" name="current_url" id="current_url" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>" />

Answer 1

You are using assignment in the if expression.

if(ref_url = cur_url){ this statement should be if(ref_url == cur_url){
