成功提交表单并在确认消息上单击“确定”后重定向到同一页面

Question

I'm using insert.php file to connect to the db, insert the user's request, send a success confirmation message then redirect user to the same page. This is the code:

if (!mysqli_query ($db_conx, $sql)) {
    die ('Error: ' . mysqli_error($db_conx));
} 
else {
echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
echo 'alert("Thank you! Your request has been successfully sent.")';
echo '</script>';
}

header ('Location:http://www.mywebsite.com.au/page1.php');
mysqli_close ($db_conx);

The problem is that after the user clicks on "OK" on the confirmation alert box the page moves from page1 to insert.php with a blank white screen. I want to refresh the page1 page and stay on it.

Answer 1

if (!mysqli_query ($db_conx, $sql)) {
    die ('Error: ' . mysqli_error($db_conx));
} 
else {
echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
echo 'alert("Thank you! Your request has been successfully sent.")';
echo 'window.location.href = "http://www.mywebsite.com.au/page1.php"';  
echo '</script>';

 mysqli_close ($db_conx);
}

Answer 2

    if (!mysqli_query ($db_conx, $sql)) {
        die ('Error: ' . mysqli_error($db_conx));
    } 
    else {
        echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
        echo 'alert("Thank you! Your request has been successfully sent.")';
        echo '</script>';
    }
    mysqli_close ($db_conx);
    echo "<META http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=page1.php\">";

I could personally never get header to work properly for me either, but meta refresh has always worked the way I needed it to.

In my snippet, I use meta refresh and tell it to wait for 0 seconds ( content=\\"0; ) before it redirects to the page1.php page ( ;URL=page1.php\\" ), that way there it will redirect directly after the user hits "Okay" on the alert message.

Alternatively, you can put in a confirmation message that does NOT need user interaction on the insert.php page, and you can can change the redirect time to something like 2 or 3 so the user has a chance to see it.

Please use this code:

if (!mysqli_query ($db_conx, $sql)) {
   die ('Error: ' . mysqli_error($db_conx));
} 
else {
   echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
   echo 'alert("Thank you! Your request has been successfully sent.")';
   echo '</script>';
}

mysqli_close ($db_conx);

// Use Location: not Location : , that means now space between Location and :(colon)
header ('Location: http://www.mywebsite.com.au/page1.php');
