Issue using "case" and redirect!

[tonyking]

Please note, this is an old, existing post I am now having further problems with. This "simple" script is supposed to match a user inputted name, to a coresponding page.

This code is now presenting me with a problem in IE, and I can't for the life of me figure out why!? I am using a page called registry.php, here's the code:

<?php
    if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){
        $name = strip_tags($_POST['name']);
        $name = strtolower($name);
        switch($name){
            case "haynes":
                $page = 'haynes.html';
            break;
            case "bill":
                $page = 'bill.html';
            break;
            case "bart":
                $page = 'bart.html';
            break;
            default:
                $page = "noregistry.html";
            break;
        }
        header("Location:$page");
    }
?>

And I am using the below form to post to the script.

<form name="Submit" method="post" action="registry.php">
<input type="text" name="name" class="cleardefault" size="20" value="Groom's Last Name" /><br />
<font size="-2" color="#0099FF">(Use ALL lowercase letters)</font><br /><br />
<input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

It works in firefox, and upon original testing, it worked in IE. Now when I test in IE it takes me to the registry.php page and stops. The script does not redirect to the appropriate case or page.

Here's the live example:

You can see the form in the left hand column.

Here's the direct link to the page it should redirect to:
www.damartravel.com/haynes.html

Hopefully this is something silly, and one of you know what it is! lol... It's been driving me crazy all morning.

Thanks in Advance.

I just went to the site in Both Firefox and IE and it worked fine for me, when i put haynes in the box.

I get page not found on both bart and bill

Odd, may I ask what version of IE you used? As I've tried this on several computers in our office producing the same results.

It worked fine for me in IE7.

Very weird, I'm testing on IE7 myself, and have used multiple computers in our office. I hate just saying oh well, and moving on, but at this point I don't know what to do. Hopefully it works for everyone but me??

What if you replaced:

        header("Location:$page"); 

With:

        header("Location: ".$page);

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!! Sort of.... Atleast I have narrowed it down! Nile I appreciate the reply, I tried that and it resulted in the same thing, BUT!

I have discovered when I click the submit button everything works fine in IE. However, when the user presses 'Enter' and submits the form, IE users (atleast IE7 users) are directed to a blank registry.php page. Why and how I don't freakin know, but I don't think it's an issue with the php, possibly the javascript I am using to clear the default text in the box?

Thanks everyone for your help, I've transfered this to the Javascript forum. Hopefully I can get this bug fixed there!
