Have you searched THIS FORUM for your problem: yes
(if not please do before posting)
If so, what terms did you try: refresh, link.php, addlink.php

Write your message below:

The linkman script work great.
However when someone tries to add a link at:
addlink.php then tries to do a refresh to see the actual link at:
links.php it takes you back to
addlink.php


What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for anyone time.

This is normal, if you add a link you are still on "addlink.php" file and if you refresh it you will be on the same file again, not some other one.

The "try refreshing" note actually means "when you visit links.php try refreshing it if you don't see your link there yet"

Oh boy man I must be on "PCP"!

I am trying my best (could be your worst) to figure this out.

Lets say someone goes to the form URL
somewebsite.com/links/form.html

Submits there link at:
http://somewebsite.com/linkman/addlink.php (enters the security number)

This will take them to:
http://www.somewebsite.com/linkman/addl ... 9885blabla

Once there how does this person know where the
http://www.somwebsite/linkman/links.php page is at?

How do they know where it actually got added.

You can check my links page here at:
http://www.guzmansgreenhouse.com/linkman/form.html
This is where I have the actual form for folks to add there link!

Please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for your time

Why complicate? The message clearly says they should try refreshing your LINKS page, not the "add a form" page.

Lets say someone goes to the form URL
somewebsite.com/links/form.html

...

Once there how does this person know where the
http://www.somwebsite/linkman/links.php page is at?

How do they know where it actually got added.

...

And how do people come to your form URL? You give it to them, most people post the URL of the "add a form" on their LINKS page. So people see the links page before the add a link page. Or they can simply enter your links page using your website menu

If you want to be more specific you can simply edit HTML code in "addlink.php" (around line 160) and include a direct link to your specific links page (http://www.yoursite.com/links.php).
