Using API - redirect to thanyou page fail

[jrandell]

Hi mderrick,

I had the same issue myself, it was very frustrating but I found a solution (that worked for me)

I had noticed people in the forums using a path like this:
"/home2/UserAcct/public_html/projectName/formtools/global/api/api.php"

I have never used this type of path as a file reference to a web page, it would not have occurred to me.
But, I tried it out in the 3 file references at issue:
require_once (on result page)
require_once (on Form Page)
$params > next_page (on Form Page)


The Solution (if you want to call it that - it feels like spit and bubble gum to me) was using the correct path format for the correct file references. Using the same path format for all three file references did not work (for me). It was only when I accidentally left the path formats inconsistent, that I started getting responses on submits, and realized the path types were mix n' match.

From there, it was not long before I found the correct combination (which works for me anyway):
require_once (on result page) uses a path like: /home2/UserAcct/public_html/projectName/formtools/etc...
require_once (on Form Page) same type of path as above
$params > next_page (on Form Page) = /formtools/global/posforms/posresult.php

It looked to me like other combinations might work, and maybe this is not the correct solution. But I had lost enough time on this and had better just move on to the next part.


I sure hope this helps!
best,
Jim
