sc_redir not returning after redirect

I have a form app A which needs a variable [x] set to work. So in onAppInit I have this conditional redirect snippet:

// Redirection parameters
$redir_app = ‘app_B’; // Application name
$redir_test = [x] == ‘’; // Redirection test
$redir_target = ‘_self’; // Target window (_blank, _self, _parent or modal)
$redir_param = ‘app_A’;

// Redirection
if ($redir_test)
{
sc_redir($redir_app, $redir_param, $redir_target);
}

The intention is to redirect to app B automatically where the [x] will be set. In app B’s onValidateSuccess, I have

sc_redir([redir_param]); to return back to app A.

When I run the app, it goes to app B as it should but in the attempt to go back to app A I get the following error all the time:

The requested URL /sc8/app/myapp//.php was not found on this server.

I have tried putting putting the full path within $redir_param and also adding .php to the name but these make no difference.

How can I solve this?

If you use sc_redir then global variables are not passed automatically. So if you need to set a return address to be used you need to pass this to your application. I.e.

in your master: sc_redir(myapp.php,glob_return_to=masterapp.php,’_parent’);

In your detail app you can then use

sc_redir([glob_return_to]);

Thank you I will give that a try. But does SC know to automatically append the appropriate path? the .php is a different app so it doesn’t reside in the same folder.

yes, it does know as long as it is a scriptcase app.

Thanks, this worked.

Strange that some boilerplate code in SC do not work as documented!
