Redirect using JS [duplicate]

Question

Here is my code, I want add.php to open in the current tab not open a new window all together.

<input type="submit" class="btn" value="Add Record" onclick="addrecord()">
          <script>
               function addrecord() {
                    window.open("add.php", "Add Record", "_self");
               }
          </script>

due to window.open .always it will open in new window..u jst use window.location='someUrl.com'; or location.href='http//eg.com'; — Maheshvirus

if you want to open form then try calling AJAX and replace HTML of current window. — Ajay Makwana

For your case, you should redirect the page not opening a new window. Try below snippet.

<input type="submit" class="btn" value="Add Record" onclick="addrecord()">

    <script type="text/javascript">
                   function addrecord() {
                        window.location = "http://www.google.com";
                   }
    </script>

Try this onclick="window.location = "google.com";"> if it works then put the snippet in the head tag

I solved my own problem last night after going to bed, it hit me like a train, and it works brilliantly! <?php if(isset($_POST['addentry'])) { header('Location: ./add.php'); } ?>
