Creating a seperate "Thank You" page

[crobb305]

After a sale, my "Thank You" occurs on the same page (url) that generated the sale using?php if($showThanks). I want to take the user to a seperate page altogether. How do I do that?

Thanks

After you accept the payment redirect the page using header:

[url=http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php]header[/url]("Location: thank_you.html");

Hope this helps!

Good luck! :)

Where do I place that in my code? This is a portion of the code, that seperates the php sections:

<input type="hidden" id="_UI" name="_UI" value="<?php echo $_POST["_UI"];?>">

<!-- END MAIN -->

<?php
} // end $showForm block
?>
<?php if($showThanks)
{
?>

...I just realized that you linked off to the php manual (header). I will take a look, though it looks like it is way beyond my current php skill. Any other suggestions? Thanks for the tip!

It would be something like:

if($showThanks) {
header("Location: thank_you.html");
exit();
}

However you must make sure that no text is sent to the browser before you call the header function otherwise it will not work. Refer to the link for more details.

A clarification to what eelixduppy says. Make sure your send NOTHING (not even spaces or empty lines) to the browser before using header redirect.
