I'm trying to use AJAX to check variables in the database, and if it's true, then it should make it header to a certain page, except in this testing phrase, I'm not checking any variables. I'm just testing if it'll header off to that certain page if I call the function. I started at test1.php, but it should've called the ajax function, and immediately header off to test3.php, but it didn't. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Please take a look:
ajax.php
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type = "text/javascript">
function nopassAjax(url,timeout) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: url,
error: function(xhr,status,error){alert(error);},
success:function(data) {
setTimeout(function() { timeoutAjax(url,timeout); }, timeout);
}
});
}
</script>
test1.php
<?php
include('ajax.php');
echo "<script>";
echo "nopassAjax('test2.php',1000);";
echo "</script>";
?>
test2.php
<?php
//checks some stuff in the database
//if true, header off to test3.php
header("Location: test3.php");
?>
test3.php
<?php
echo "Hello";
?>
