  1. POPHP Form with 2 Submit Buttons, Conditional Works, but no Header Redirect
    text
    copied!<p>I have a log-in form on a webpage and I want users to be able to log-in or register. At the top of the page I have the PHP script with the conditional testing for which submit button was pressed. The Log-in portion works fine. The "Register" portion works (meaning, it gets into the if-statement), but it doesn't redirect to my register.php site. Any thoughts?</p> <p>I've tried changing the order of the if/elseif statements but to no avail. I get no warnings from this script, but it just reloads the page rather than redirecting to register.php.</p> <p>To see the actual webpage, go <a href="http://www.mynextbit.com/Pages/newtemplateTEST.php" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $error = ''; session_start(); ob_start(); if (isset($_POST['register'])) { header("http://www.mynextbit.com/authenticate/register.php"); } elseif (isset($_POST['login'])) { session_start(); $username = trim($_POST['username']); $_SESSION['user'] = $username; $password = trim($_POST['pwd']); // location to redirect on success $redirect = 'http://www.mynextbit.com/Pages/newtemplateTEST.php'; require_once('../includes/authenticate_mysqli.inc.php'); } ?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" ... </code></pre> <p>And, the HTML FORM...</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if ($error) { echo "&lt;p&gt;$error&lt;/p&gt;"; } if (!$_SESSION['user']) { ?&gt; &lt;font color="red"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;userlogin&gt;Please Log In&lt;/userlogin&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;form id="form1" method="post" action="" style="margin-left: 15px"&gt; &lt;label for="username" &gt;&lt;font size="-1"&gt;Username:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="username" id="username"&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;label for="pwd"&gt;&lt;font size="-1"&gt;Password:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="password" name="pwd" id="pwd"&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;input name="login" type="submit" id="login" value="Log in" style="display:inline"&gt; or &lt;input name="register" type="submit" id="register" value="Register" style="display:inline"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;?php } ?&gt; </code></pre>
