Question

Is there anyway to redirect the user after posting a HTML form?

I have a form which looks like this

 <form action="/URL/" method="post">
     <input type="radio" name="answer" value="W" />W<br />
     <input type="radio" name="answer" value="X" />X<br />
     <input type="radio" name="answer" value="Y" />Y<br />
     <input type="radio" name="answer" value="Z" />Z<br />
     <input type="submit" />
 </form>

Is there anyway I can redirect the user to a new page after they click the submit button? I found a bit of javascript however that seemed to stop the post from working :S

Cheers!

If you’re using PHP, do it on the server:

if( isset( $_POST['answer'])) {
    header( 'Location: http://www.example.com/newurl');
    exit();
}

Note that you should be using a full URL in the header() call, and that you likely want to exit() after calling header() in this case.
