• Page redirect with successful Ajax request 10 answers

What i am trying to do here was to pass the form values to a function in controller via jquery ajax post upon submit.

here's the code for the view

<form  action="<?php echo site_url('products/paypal')?>" method="post" id="checkoutForm" name="checkoutForm">
   ...
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
   ...
   $.post($('#checkoutForm').attr('action'), $('#checkoutForm').serialize());
   ...
</script>

The controller will process the post variables then should execute this line of code $this->paypal->pay(); that will redirect the user to other url. Here's the code for a function in the controller (products.php)

public function paypal() {
    //... paypal configuration
    $this->paypal->pay(); //Proccess the payment
}

Here's the code for a function in the library (Paypal.php)

function pay(){

    #Convert the array to url encode variables 
    $vars =  http_build_query($this->config);

    if($this->config['production'] == TRUE){
        header('LOCATION:'.$this->production_url.$vars);
    }else{
        header('LOCATION:'.$this->sandbox_url.$vars);
    }
}

The problem is that the user is not being redirected. What could be the problem in this one?

Thanks in advance.

If you make an Ajax form submission from the client, you'll never be able to do a browser redirect from the server. That's the difference between a regular request and an Ajax one. Either you'll need to do a regular form submission or you'll need to change the window location on the client side after the Ajax call returns.
