Replace php code with if statement

Question

i've connected this code with html form button

<?php

$old= "/Full"; $new= "/only";

if ( $_POST ) {
    $old= $new;
    header('Location: $old'); } 
else {
    header('Location: $old');

i want to save the inputs without sql some thing like Replacing the code with save but without database does it possible ?

my old question to understand Path changer in Admin Dashboard

SQL is a type of database. You can't save something to a database if you don't have a database. — robere2, Sep 02 '17 at 16:38
You don't seem to understand what .sql-files are. You can use files to store data, yes, but you shouldn't use .sql files if they're raw data and not SQL-queries. — Qirel, Sep 02 '17 at 16:43
Except you want to write to a file and save on the server, I don't see another way — Rotimi, Sep 02 '17 at 16:43
The code snippet and the aim `"save the inputs without sql"` seem totally unrelated and it is not clear what you are actually asking — Professor Abronsius, Sep 02 '17 at 16:46

Based off of the conversation in the comments, you could just put it in a .json file:

paths.json

{
    "oldPath": "/Full",
    "newPath": "/only"
}

your-php-file.php

<?php

// Decode the JSON into a PHP array
$json = json_decode(file_get_contents("paths.json"), true);

// If a POST request was submitted
if ( $_POST ) {
    // Redirect the user to the newPath
    header('Location: ' . $json['newPath']); 
} else {
    // Otherwise redirect them to the old path
    header('Location: ' . $json['oldPath']);
}

file_get_contents() MUST be enabled and configured properly in your PHP configuration.

No. If you go to this PHP page, if a form was submitted (or a POST request in any other way), then you'll get sent to `/only`. Otherwise it will send you to `/Full`. – robere2 Sep 02 '17 at 16:57
read the linked question + iwant when ipress the button change the header forever this is the index how ican do it ? – reko beko Sep 02 '17 at 17:01

Do you want it to change only for the person who clicked the button, or everyone? – robere2 Sep 02 '17 at 17:03
it's not person it's dashboard for me when iclick the button the path changes for all visitors – reko beko Sep 02 '17 at 17:04
i don't have access for phpmyadmin to make it so i want another way – reko beko Sep 02 '17 at 17:05

Then you'll have to modify your `json` file's values. You can try modifying the PHP array and then using `json_encode()` on it and writing that string into your JSON file with `file_put_contents()`. – robere2 Sep 02 '17 at 17:08
do you have tuto for it ? – reko beko Sep 02 '17 at 18:00

No, it's pretty simple PHP code and not everything has a tutorial. Just read the documentation at http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-put-contents.php – robere2 Sep 02 '17 at 18:27
thank you sir very helpful finally someone understand me <3 – reko beko Sep 02 '17 at 18:41
