Question

SO..i have this project that is totally backwards, but basically i have to give a working form that adds a quantity of some item_ID and then redirects to the cart page of a framework i use.

Of course rather than me just skin my framework, and customize its functionality for him. This guy has some hacked up php pages that he “wrote himself” that he insists on hard coding forms into.

anyways, i have a form that submits to my cart.php in the action

<form name="orderform" method="post"     action="http://s429036015.onlinehome.us/cart.php" id="orderform">
    <input type="hidden" name="mode" value="add" />
    <input type="hidden" name="productid" value="140" />
    <input type="hidden" name="cat" value="" />
    <input type="hidden" name="page" value="" />
    Qty <input type="text" id="product_avail" name="amount" />      
   <button class="button main-button list-button add-to-cart-button" type="submit" title="" onClick="location.href='cart.php'">
    <span class="button-right"><span class="button-left">Add to cart</span></span>
  </button>       
</form>   

The above form submits properly, with the quantity entered, session stores the data and the items are in the cart just fine….however, that onclick event on the <button> doesn’t work!

I’ve even tried this

<button class="button main-button list-button add-to-cart-button" type="submit" title="" onClick="GotoPage(); return:true;">

with this script ahead of the form

<script type="text/javascript">
  function GotoPage() {
    window.location = "http://s429036015.onlinehome.us/cart.php";
  }
</script>

anyone have any ideas? driving me nuts…

In PHP, after you process data from form, try this:

header('location: http://s429036015.onlinehome.us/cart.php');
