Question

I’m trying to use JS to direct a user to their profile page on login. I need to get the profile id in the url but it’s not working.

            if(data == 'success'){
                window.location = 'profile.php?id=<?= $user_id ?>';
            } else {
                $('#signin_errors').html(data);
            }

Any advice?

If this is a file included in <script src="blah.js"></script> change it to <script src="blah.php"></script> and stick this code in blah.php

<?php header("Content-type: application/x-javascript");
$user_id = "whatever"; ?>

if(data == 'success'){
   window.location = 'profile.php?id=<?php echo $user_id ?>';
} else {
   $('#signin_errors').html(data);
}
