here is my code. it is for the removal of any borrower. when the process was successful it supposedly proceeds to the books.php but instead, it goes to my index page
<?php
if (isset($_POST['return'])) {
require 'include.dbh.php';
$id = $_POST['return'];
$sqlr = "DELETE FROM borrower WHERE id=" . $id;
echo $sqlr;
if (mysqli_query($conn, $sqlr)) {
header("Location: ../books.php?borrowedbookhasbeenreturned");
exit();
} else {
header("Location ../books.php?error=connectionerror");
exit();
}
mysqli_close($conn);
} else {
header("Location: ../books.php");
}
?>
and this is the code for my book.php and also I'm a beginner on PHP. when the button is clicked it sends the id of the borrower to code above then it would do its thing. well it works but it didn't redirect me to the page where it should be instead it redirects me to the index.php
<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['userID'])) {
header("Location: ../login.php");
} else if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) {
header("Location: index.php");
} else {
$butt = $_POST['submit'];
require 'php/include.dbh.php';
$sql = "SELECT * FROM bookinfo WHERE btitle='" . $butt . "'";
if ($result = $conn->query($sql)) {
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$ID = $row['bid'];
$bookname = $row['btitle'];
$desc = $row['bdesc'];
$q = $row['quantity'];
$img = $row['imgpath'];
}
/*freeresultset*/
$result->free();
}
}
?>
