Redirect webpage to the same page with a message

Redirect webpage to the same page with a message

Processing the form on the same page or is the form action a separate file? If it is a separate file, you can redirect after form processing using the header function and passing in a get variable like so:

Code:
if($form_success){
header('original_page.php?success=true');
}

Here I am checking a made-up variable called $form_success, though it would probably contain a boolean value based on whether the form successfully submitted or not. If it did submit, I am redirecting the user to original_page.php with a GET variable success = true. This can be accessed on your form page (wherever you want the message to display in the HTML) like this:

Code:
if(isset($_GET['success'])){
if($_GET['success'] == 'true'){
echo '<div class="success">THANK YOU. YOUR DATA HAS BEEN SUBMITTED</div>'
}else{
echo '<div class="error">SORRY, PROBLEM SUBMITTING YOUR DATA</div>'
}
}

PHP - Simple Ad Rotation Script

PHP - Simple Ad Rotation Script

In this script (very easy script), we setup 3 ads for rotation. First ad, we want it to display 70%, second ad we want to display 20% and the last one we want to display 10%

What to do
1. Random number 1-100
if result = 1-70 (we have opportunity to display ad1, 70%)
if result = 71-90 (we have opportunity to display ad2, 20%)
if result = 91-100 (we have opportunity to display ad3, 10%)

Example
In this script, we use rand(1, 100); to random number between 1 -100 and keep the result in variable named "$result_random" if result = 85 ad2 will be displayed.

Code -

<?php

// random number 1 - 100 $result_random = rand(1, 100);

// if result less than or equal 70, display ad1 (70%)
if($result_random <= 70){
echo "Display ad1";
}

// if result less than or equal 90, display ad2 (20%)
else if($result_random <= 90){
echo "Display ad2";
}

// if result less than or equal 100, display ad3 (10%)
else {
echo "Display ad3";
}

?>
