On the main page of my site, a user needs to check a checkbox to indicate they are of legal age.

If they check the box they need to be sent to the homepage, if not they need to be redirected to a different url.

It seems to me that this should be very easy - something like:

if checkbox “on” go here…
else go here…

But I’m totally stumped. Is there a relatively straight-forward way to do this?

Any help or direction would be much appreciated.

I solved my problem using a simple php file.

Would you care to post what you did to make this happen, just in case someone else has this problem and are able to find a solution?  I’m sure there will be someone else out there with a similar question.

Thanks!

I googled age-validation redirect and found this entry about age-validation redirect. By looking at the code I was able to figure out this code for a checkbox:

<?php
$ofage = $_POST['ofage'];
if ($ofage=="on") {
    header("Location: ../index.php/home");
    exit;
}
else {
    header("Location: <a href="http://www.google.com">http://www.google.com"</a>);
    exit;
}
?>

As you may have noticed - I don’t know any PHP so this was really exciting for me to be able to make this happen.

Great!  Thanks a lot.  I’m not a PHP person, either, so this is great.
