重定向回消息

Question

I have a document called editprofile.php and I have another one that is called action.php. when the user submits their info using editprofile.php. the information get POSTed to action.php where I process the information and send it to mysql. After sending it I want to show a message that everything has been successfully changed. I used this :

if $everythingisdone{
$smarty->assign('sucess', 'Your changes have been made');
header('Location: ' . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
}

I get redirected to the previous page, but there is no message even though I have this in my editprofile.tpl

{if $sucess}
<div class="sucess">
{$sucess}
</div>
{/if}

how can I assign the message when I redirect back?

Answer 1

you could do:

//custom smarty function to set session flash messages
function smarty_function_set_flash($params, $smarty) {
    $flash = "";
    if (isset($_SESSION['success'])) {
        $flash = $_SESSION['success'];
        $_SESSION['success'] = ""; //unset the session
    }
    return $flash; //return flash message
}

your code

....
if($everythingisdone) {
  $_SESSION['success'] =  'Your changes have been made';
  header('Location: ' . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
}

and view:

{if isset($smarty.session.flash) && $smarty.session.flash != ''}
    <div class="sucess">{set_flash}</div>
{/if}
