Courses Plus Student 7,940 PointsPHP header redirect method does not work
Here are two basic php files. page1.php should redirect to page2.php when the submit button is pressed but it does not. Why? Thanks.
<?php
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == $_POST) {
header("Location: page2.php");
exit;
}
?>
<html>
<form action="page1.php" action="post">
<input type="submit" value="go to page two">
</form>
</html>

2,226 PointsIf you want you can check our previous chat and you will see the answer there but i will say it again here, the $_server function needs to look like this - $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST', and not $_POST.

Courses Plus Student 7,940 PointsYes. I tried that as well. But it did not work. Here is what the code looks like now edited.
<?php
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
header("Location: page2.php");
exit;
}
?>
<html>
<form action="page1.php" action="post">
<input type="submit" value="go to page two">
</form>
</html>

Courses Plus Student 7,940 PointsThat did it. Wow what a silly thing to overlook. Thank you very much. Funny thing is I've posted this same question elsewhere with many responses and you are the first to notice.
