php var to JS var with redirect

[oiwio]

Im trying to reirect after a user gets a certain condition and carry over two variables to the redirect page. Heres the script, I think Im going to have to convert a php variable to a javascript variable

$page = $_GET['page']
$attack = $_POST['attack'];
printf("<script>location.href='victory.php?attack=$attack&page=$page'</script>");

can anyone help me? Ive looked around on the web for a while and cant find a solution

hi,

this is basically supposed to work, but you should handle the variables like this:

$page = $_GET['page'];
$attack = $_POST['attack'];
printf("<script>location.href='victory.php?attack=".$attack."&page=".$page."'</script>");

but note that the new $attack-variable in the url is now GET! so if your victory.php has another "$attack = $_POST['attack'];" in it, it won´t read the variable unless you change the method to $_GET.

peace,
bonzo

Ill try it, but victory.php is GET

so far, it is not working

so can you explain what is going wrong?

the url that is coming out from this is : http://fmammorpg.x10hosting.com/afterbattle.php?attack=$attack&page=$page

afterbattle.php is the page victory.php redirects to after updating the database

ok, in the url you have posted the variables are treated as part of the string in printf(). but this should actually work if you change your script as i suggested in my first reply...

oh and by the way, is there a special reason why you use printf() in the first place? because as you don´t apply any formatting parameters, you should best go as simple as

print "<script>location.href='victory.php?attack=".$attack."&page=".$page."'</script>";

peace, bonzo

I checked it again today and it was working, so thank you for your help. I guess it just took a little time to update the server
