Home: Perl Programming Help: Beginner: Directing to another page

anujagarwal Deleted Mar 20, 2000, 10:49 PM Post #1 of 6 (572 views) Directing to another page Can't Post How can I direct a user to another page. For example: I verify the login info. in the if statement if ($temp_ssn == $passwd) { here, if the login is successful, I want the user to be directed to another page, lets say: http://www.espn.com } else { dienice("Unsuccessful login. Please try again."); } If the login is successful, I don't want to show the user a link, rather i want him to be directed to another site automatically? How can I do this? Thanks, Anuj

Please try again."; } NOTE:: == is for Numeric values eq is for string values Cure

The reason I'm trying this is because once I authenticate a user, I want to transfer control to another form. This form is resident on a palm, and I don't want my script to create it, rather just direct the user to it. anuj

Please try again."; } Example: this is code will work for you because i dont have a http header above the if statment: $url='http://www.espn.com'; if ($temp_ssn == $passwd) { print "Location: $url\n\n"; } else { print "Unsuccessful login. Please try again."; } Cure
