Forcing user to new page in php. (PHP newbie)
- by JohnC
Hello I'm a newbie web programmer.
My background is writing Windows applications with sql.
I'm putting together my 1st data entry screens in Php.
I have a search form that links to a form that displays records in a grid.
On each row of the grid I have a delete url to allow the user to remove a record.
This links to a form delete.php (which calls the sql to remove the record).
Ideally I would like to automatically take the user back to the search form rather than forcing the user to click on a link to do so.
I have used ob_start with the header to do this elsewhere but cannot get it to work on this page.
Is there another way to do it?
(Using php 5 as part of LAMP)
file delete.php
<?php
$id = $_GET['recordID'];
//ob_start();
require_once('connections/local.php');
mysql_select_db($database_local, $local);
mysql_query("DELETE FROM user_access WHERE id = {$id}") or die(mysql_error());
echo("Record ".$id." deleted");
echo("<br>");
//header("location:http://localhost/search7.htm);
//ob_flush();
echo("<a href=\"http://localhost/search7.htm\">Search for Members</a>");
?>
