[SOLVED] Adding to a URL

[Ashoar]

Just a quick question.

 

How could you add a new page to the end of a URL?

 

For example i have this url:

www.websitehere.com/board.php?forum_num=test

 

Now i have a post.php page which allows a user to insert a post but when i try to add it as a link to the post page i get this url:

www.websitehere.com/post.php

 

So how could i add post.php to the end of the original URL so that it will go to post.php?

 

Thanks

You can't add a different URL to an existing URL and expect the second URL to be used.

 

You can add something like this on the end

www.websitehere.com/board.php?forum_num=test&redirect=post

 

Then check at the start of the script if redirect has been set and then act accordingly. Never take the parameter directly from the URL and use it in an include as this is a security issue but check what the redirect parameter can be then redirect manually. Here's an example...

switch ($_GET['redirect']) {
  case 'post':header('post.php');exit;break;
}

Oh ok. Thank you for the answer.

If you want to pass the parameters on the URL as well to the redirect try something like this...

 

$url=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
switch ($_GET['redirect']) {
  case 'post':$url=stripRedirect('post',$url);header('post.php'.$url);exit;break;
}

function stripRedirect($txt,$url) {
  $tmp=str_replace('redirect='.$txt,'',$url);
  return trim($tmp,'&/?');
}

 

Something like that although that will need some tweaking - but it gives the general idea.
