Image redirect using php?

[scuff]

Is it possible to do something like this:

 

page 1:

 

<img src="page2.php">

 

page2.php:

 

<?php

header("Location: http://www.example.com/");

?>

 

Basically I want to know if page1 can redirect to a page specified by page 2 using img src. Is that possible?

You cannot use the header function if output has already started or sent. If you visit page2.php directly it will redirect to example.com however embedding it in an HTML page will not work.

 

 

You may want to try

 

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://example.com/">

I tried putting <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://example"> on page2.php but it didn't work, so basically you can't redirect from img src, right?

Why are you even doing this? The image tag is for an image, if you didn't know, and the browser will only render it as so. If that would allow redirecting the bloody web would be 1000x as spammy than before.

 

Page2.php can redirect to http://www.example.com/image.jpg.

Only thing you'd need to watch out for is XSS, which relates to problems with javascript. The IMG tag will just output a resulting image if it is supported, such as mimetype image/jpg(gif/png/xmp/)
