How to update product from clientArea and display custom page?

[mps.sudipta]

In my module I need to let the client update some of the details he provided during ordering my module's services.

 

so my client area code is something like:

function test_module_ClientArea($params) {
$uid = $params["configoption1"];
       $pw = $params["configoption2"];
$url = $params["configoption3"];

$code = '
<div>
	<form method="post" action="clientarea.php?action=productdetails">
		<input type="hidden" name="id" value="'.$params['serviceid'].'" />
		<input type="hidden" name="modop" value="custom" />
		<input type="hidden" name="a" value="redirect" />
		<input type="submit" value="pass random val" />
	</form>
</div>';
return $code;
}

 

 

And my redirect function is:

function test_module_redirect($params){
/*$page = array(
   'templatefile' => 'redirect',
   'breadcrumb' => ' > <a href="#">Generate Random Crumb</a>',
   'vars'			=> array(
   						'php' 			=> 'asd adasd asdasd asd', 
   						'asp' 			=> 'ff ff ad afasdf', 
   						'jsp' 			=> "hdfg fgsdf sdfsdf", 
   						'javascript' 	=> 'asdasd asd asdasdasd'  ),
   );
 return $page;*/
 echo "TESTTING ajsdh ahd asjdlksajdk sjadlka sjdlkasj dlakjd";
 return "success";
}

 

As you can see, I tried displaying a custom template( my redirect.tpl is located in same directory as module, meaning module/servers/test_module/). But nothing was shown, so I tried echoing and returning strings (yes, i did try stuff other than "success"), But nothing shows up when I hit the button in the client area, except the page reloads. I am not even sure at this stage, if the redirect function is even called.

 

Any ideas what i am doing wrong and how to debug? Also if I have more input fields, how will i capture their values in the clientArea or redirect() functions?
