when the url is localhost/school/portfolio/contact.php it works fine, but when I use a get parameter index.php?page=contact it redirects to index.php
The code I use
$url = "http". ((!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) ? "s" : "") . "://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
header('Location: '.$url."?sent=yes");
What do I have to add?
This should help :)
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post">
Otherwise see my answer on this "How to get base URL with PHP?" Question for more help :)
there are couple of ways to do so.. (choose what suits you..)
1)use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
2)Use parse_url() to get PHP_URL_PATH and PHP_URL_QUERY parts, and redirect to relative path.
But it'll better to store redirect links in session.
This seems to be an old thread, but to help the future visitors to this page it is worth adding a comment about security issues with $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].
If adding $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] to the form action attribute as suggested in the comments above, you are setting yourself up for XSS attack.
One solution is to wrap $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] with htmlentities() like so:
<form action="<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) ?>" method="post">
