this file is called index.php and want it to redirect to

index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=16&id=293&Itemid=351

 

Isn't that the same page, just with different parameters on the query string? No wondering it is looping. Are you wanting to redirect it to the same page (with the parameters) because the page is dependant on the parameters? If so, no need to redirect, just set defaults for the parameters.

 

Example:

$option = (isset($_GET['option']))?$_GET['option']:'com_content';
$task = (isset($_GET['task']))?$_GET['task']:'category';
$sectionid = (isset($_GET['sectionid']))?$_GET['sectionid']:'16';
$id = (isset($_GET['id']))?$_GET['id']:'293';
$Itemid = (isset($_GET['Itemid']))?$_GET['Itemid']:'351';

[bigbenbuilders]

yes that is what I am wanting to do and please how do I do that?

[Psycho]

Didn't I just show you?

 

Set a variable (i.e. $option) to the value of $_GET['option'] if it is set, otherwise set it to a default value, in this example 'com_content'

$option = (isset($_GET['option']))?$_GET['option']:'com_content';

 

Then just use that variable in your code.

[bigbenbuilders]

here is what I did and it did not work

 

$option = (isset($_GET['option']))?$_GET['option']:'com_content';

$task = (isset($_GET['task']))?$_GET['task']:'category';

$sectionid = (isset($_GET['sectionid']))?$_GET['sectionid']:'16';

$id = (isset($_GET['id']))?$_GET['id']:'293';

$Itemid = (isset($_GET['Itemid']))?$_GET['Itemid']:'351';

$database = new database( $mosConfig_host, $mosConfig_user, $mosConfig_password, $mosConfig_db, $mosConfig_dbprefix );

$database->debug( $mosConfig_debug );

$acl = new gacl_api();

[bigbenbuilders]

mjdamato yes you did sorry didnt see it all...still couldnt get it to work

[Psycho]

Are you expecting values to be passed through any $_REQUEST variable or just $_GET? Don't see why you are using the $_REQUEST variable. I would just use GET myself.

 

But anyway, just replace this line:

$option = trim( strtolower( mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'option' ) ) );

 

With this one:

$option = (isset($_REQUEST['option']))  ? trim(strtolower(mosGetParam($_REQUEST,'option'))) : 'com_content';

 

Do the same for the other variables. Since I don't know what mosGetParam() this might not work, but should give you an idea.

[bigbenbuilders]

trying to follow your lead this is what I have done with the same results

 

$option = (isset($_REQUEST['option']))  ? trim(strtolower(mosGetParam($_REQUEST,'option'))) : 'com_content';
$sectionid = (isset($_REQUEST['sectionid'])) ? trim(strtolower(mosGetParam($_REQUEST,'sectionid'))) : '16';
$id = (isset($_REQUEST['id'])) ? trim(strtolower(mosGetParam($_REQUEST,'id'))) : '293';
$Itemid = (isset($_REQUEST['Itemid'])) ? trim(strtolower(mosGetParam($_REQUEST,'Itemid'))) : '351';
$database = new database( $mosConfig_host, $mosConfig_user, $mosConfig_password, $mosConfig_db, $mosConfig_dbprefix );
$database->debug( $mosConfig_debug );
$acl = new gacl_api();
