How to exit to a web page upon successful 'Recaptcha' input

[Linda Jimerson]

Hello - Thanks for any help you can provide. Below is code I am using for "recaptcha" form validation. It works well EXCEPT that (instead of echoing 'You got it!') as shown below when the accurate words are entered, I want to exit to another web page. What is the php code that would replace echo "You got it!"; and instead exit to another web page? Thanks very much. linda jimerson[php]<form action="" method="post" >
<?php
require_once('recaptchalib.php');
$publickey = "6Le-0AEAAAAAAGV3Ln-w867BhcXcme3hvBBpyQy7";
$privatekey = "6Le-0AEAAAAAAEYvsU9tKhDCaLC3wKhqaCDSvjQ_";
$resp = null;
$error = null;
if ($_POST["submit"]) {
$resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
$_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
$_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);
if ($resp->is_valid) {
echo "You got it! ";
} else {
$error = $resp->error;
}
}
echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey, $error);
?&g t;

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>[/php]

[php]echo ("<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"2;url=http://yourwebsite.com\">");[/PHP]

Notice the \'s there so that it doesn't see them as the closing of the echo. That statement will mean that the page will wait for 2 seconds (you can change this to 0) before it is redirected to yourwebsite.com.

Also, use code tags as I have!

AND what's your form action?

check out the header() functions.

[php]
header("Location: success_page.php");
[/php]

But still header("Location:target_page.php") is recommended.

No Problem.

But still header("Location:target_page.php") is recommended.

I agree, but this has to come before any html. To do it this way, and I agree it is a better way, you need your script to return a variable so that when the header comes up you can test for that variable and then use the location function. But doing exactly what the OP asked for, replacing the echo contents, meta's are easier.

Not all browsers support them.

Ahh touché! Listen to the pro's, I am but a humble hobbiest! However, I have not had a problem with meta yet.

Believe us.

Correct me if I'm wrong, as I don't know, only you would. When you use meta instead of header, what happens when you click the back button? In IE, do you just end up back on the current page?

If($your_response)
{
    echo "That's a slight annoyance to users, but a  good way to keep them on the same page"; 
}
else
{
   echo "...hmmm...didn't know that.You learn something new everyday"; 
}

I still don't know how you guys get by the fact that you can only use header() before any html has been sent. There can be no delay (that I know of) which is sometimes required. I use header() 99% of the time, but meta in those areas which I need either a delay and/or show some html first. Solutions?
