PHP - Question About Form Submitted

I now know how to append GET over normal hyperlinks, but I don't know how to do it with form submissions.

Here's the problem:

I have a form like this one:


<form method="GET" action="">

<?php 
require_once ('sort_category_func.php');
$switch = 1;
sort_category ($switch); 
?>

+ Most Liked <input type='checkbox' value='mostLiked' name='mostLiked' />
<br />
<input type="submit" name="sortSubmit" value='Go' />
<br /><br />
</form>




And the variables:


// DROP DOWN MENU VARIABLES
$select_category = $_REQUEST['sort_category'];
$most_liked = $_GET['mostLiked'];


I'm using a while loop to list user submission, you can also sort them by category which works over GET, this works as long as there is no GET data already in the URL, but as soon as there is GET data it won't work anymore.

Here's an example:

If I have a user profile page opened like this:


profile.php?user=konopkov


And a category has been chosen to sort the user's submissions the URL will change to:


profile.php?sort_category=Logos


INSTEAD it should be:


profile.php?user=konopkov&sort_category=Logos


As I said I know how to achieve this with hyperlinks now, but I have no clue how do it with form submissions.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I've got a BIG problem...

When a user submits my form it works fine, displays a "Transaction Success/Failed", and e-mails me a confirmation.

However, if the user then navigates to another page (e.g. "Home"), and then clicks their browser's "Back" button, my form gets re-submitted?!    

This is on a VPS, but I just chatted with server support and they are saying,

Quote

register_globals = Off


So what is going wrong?!

Hi   We have a nicely working smtp contact form, however the form redirects to the contact.php file as default I presume, when we want it to go to a thank you page. Can you [please take a look at the code below and clarify where I need to put the thank you page URL;   $redirect_url = "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; //Redirect URL after submit the form

$mail->From = $mail->Username;    //Default From email same as smtp user
$mail->FromName = "Mobile website";

$mail->AddAddress("essexcarrentals@yahoo.co.uk", "Mobile Website"); //Email address where you wish to receive/collect those emails.

$mail->WordWrap = 50;                                 // set word wrap to 50 characters
$mail->IsHTML(true);                                  // set email format to HTML

$mail->Subject = $_POST['Enquiry'];
$message = "Name: ".$_POST['name']." \r\n <br>Email Address: ".$_POST['email']." \r\n <br> Phone: ".$_POST['phone']." \r\n <br> Vehicle: ".$_POST['select']." \r\n <br> Dates: ".$_POST['dates'];
$mail->Body    = $message;

if(!$mail->Send())
{
   echo "Message could not be sent. <p>";
   echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
   exit;
}

echo "Message has been sent";
header("Location: $redirect_url");
}
?>   I have tried replacing the http:// but this returns a page underfined error on submission?   We appreciate your help on this one guys :0)   Ash   ---

I the only thing I can't figure out is, how do I clear the form fields AFTER the form has been submitted and the message
"Thank you for contacting us." appears ??

I haven't been able to figure it out with JavaScript/PHP, so I posted my original code in hopes that someone will have an idea.

Anyone?

Thanks!

I have an account on theirsite.com and I want to be able to submit my login credentials from mysite.com/page1.php and then redirect back to mysite.com/page2.php.

I've been Googling for hours now and nothing I can find works and I don't know a thing about cURL and would rather not get into it. Not to mention, I'm using free hosting for now and I don't believe I'm able to use cURL anyways.

I can get it to log in with the credentials just fine, that's no problem, but I just have no clue how to get it to redirect back to my page or just send the credentials and then staying on my page because I could work with that as well (send credentials to theirsite.com from mysite.com/page1.php and staying on mysite.com/page1.php).

Is there anyone that could give me a hand on how to do this without using cURL since my php.ini is not editable?

Thanks
