multiple redirect based on selected field

I have four tables; applicants, q1, q2, q3.

In the applicants table, there is a long form of personal information, and at the end they have to select the type of job they are applying for; a, b, or c.

Based on the the selection of 'type of job', on submit, I want to redirect them to the appropriate questions; q1, q2, q3.
How do I do this? It's not a simple redirect because it is based on content in the field 'type of job'.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
you can so it using Before record updated and After record updated events.

function BeforeEdit(&$values, $where)

{

if ($values["Field"]=="q1")

$_SESSION["question] = 1;

if ($values["Field"]=="q2")

$_SESSION["question] = 2;

if ($values["Field"]=="q3")

$_SESSION["question] = 3;

return true;

}


function AfterEdit()

{

// put your custom code here

if ($_SESSION["question"]==1)

header("Location: q1_list.php");

if ($_SESSION["question"]==2)

header("Location: q2_list.php");

if ($_SESSION["question"]==3)

header("Location: q3_list.php");

}



where Field is your actual field name.
