I have a file (confirm.js) which will redirect a login page to a home page if the Username and Password were entered correctly. I am getting an error on the line:
<?php header("Location: ../MedCompany/homepage.php ?>
The error that I am receiving from the console is as following:
Uncaught Syntaxerror: Unexpected token <
How should I include the php code within my javascript document so it can redirect to another php file. Why is my code incorrect?
I thought <php? php code ?>
is the proper way of doing this
$('document').ready(function () {
button = document.getElementById("button");
button.onclick = function () {
var data = $("#loginform").serialize();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '../MedCompany/php/welcome.php',
data: data,
success: function (response) {
console.log("response was " + response);
if (response == "Login Succesfull") {
<?php
header("Location: ../MedCompany/homepage.php");
?>
}
else {
$("#error").html('<div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">;' + response + '</div>');
}
}
});
}
});
