Question

I’m looking to redirect users to a new page once the form has been posted. However, I want to parse a variable to that new page as well. The variable is being returned by the PHP file.

    $("#ajaxquery").live( "click" , function(){
        var formdata = $(this).serialize(); 
        $.post( "includes/generate.php", formdata, function( data ) {
            $(".success").html(data);
        }); 
        return false;
    });

At the moment I can get the returned data from the PHP file to display on the .success div correctly but I can’t get it to work using a redirect. This is what I’m trying:

window.location = "../download.php?site=" + html(data); 

Also – is parsing the data in the URL the best approach for this? The data is just a unique ID which is used in download.php.

window.location = "../download.php?site="+data;     

EDIT:

I tried the below code and it’s working now but there’s still another problem.

It’s adding a double space between the = and the data for some reason? I can’t see anything in the code that would cause this.

/download.php?site=  4e0928de075538c593fbdabb0c5ef2c3

Answer 1

For the problem with the spaces:

window.location.href="../download.php?site=" + data.replace(/^ +/,"");

This will strip out any opening spaces; I’m not sure where they’re coming from.
