queries after redirection.

[seany123]

okay well basically is it possible to redirect someone then on the new page display a echo or run a query or something?

 

edit: obviously, on the the new normally the echo or query wouldnt happen... but because of the redirect it does.

I believe you are looking for the functionality provided by Sessions.  Google 'php sessions'.  You should find lots of good information.

Yes, a redirect works the same way as typing the link into your browser manually. You can pass variables via $_GET if needed.

how could it be done with $_GET ??

[milesap]

$link = urlencode('http://www.example.com/index.php?username=joesmith&age=21');

header('Location: ' . $link . '');

header('Location: ' . $link . '');

 

thats not exactly what i mean...

 

i mean after the direct to another page... i want the new page to have a echo or something triggered by the redirect.

I'd go down the session root, Using $_GET will leave it open to tampering;

 

Take a look at session_start() as a starting point
