Redirect To Url Taken From Json Response

I am using jquery ajax method to make http request to php webpage, and in response I am taking json like {'status':'success','url':'http url'} on success function I am redirecting

Solution 1:

I personally use

    window.location.replace(url);

Read More - "The replace() method replaces the current document with a new one" window.location.replace() better simulates a http redirect

There are other various options like:

window.location.href = "http://stackoverflow.com";

Which acts as a link click

Solution 2:

have u tried window.location = "url"

url should include http://

and it should be inside quotes

Solution 3:

if you use jquery it would be easier. here's an example:

function save(){
var item = "value of some input";
 $.ajax({
  url      : "process.php",
  dataType : "json",
  data     : "item ="+item,
  type     : "POST",
  cache    : false,
  success : 
  function (data){
// if the return of your json like {"status":"success","url":"http url"}
// use this
    if (data.status == "success"){
      window.location.href = data.url;
    }
    else{
      alert("error occured");
    }
  }
 });
}
