PLEASE HELP! PHP redirect wont work at all! ><

ShadowIce · February 4, 2010

I need this to refresh a page every 5 seconds

and if it detects javascript is on then take user to index

else

refresh and stay on same page.

<?php
ob_start();

$js = (isset($_GET['js']) && $_GET['js']=='1') ? 1 : 0;
if ($js)
{
?>
<?php
$urlRefresh = "index.php";
header("Refresh: 5; URL=\"" . $urlRefresh . "\""); // redirect in 5 seconds
?>
<?php
}else{
$urlRefresh = "enable_javascript.php";
header("Refresh: 5; URL=\"" . $urlRefresh . "\""); // redirect in 5 seconds
}
?>
blah
<?php
ob_end_flush();
?>

And what exactly is your problem?

ShadowIce · February 4, 2010

well, it's not refreshing at all.

and when it did before,

it didn't refresh to the right page

WolfRage · February 4, 2010

Headers don't refresh a page, use a meta tag because not all users will have javascript enabled.

ShadowIce · February 4, 2010

it's still not refreshing -.-

<?php
ob_start();

$js = (isset($_GET['js']) && $_GET['js']=='1') ? 1 : 0;
if ($js)
{
?>
<?php
$urlRefresh = "index.php";
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"5; URL=$urlRefresh\">\r\n";
//header("Refresh: 5; URL=\"" . $urlRefresh . "\""); // redirect in 5 seconds
?>
<?php
}else{
$urlRefresh = "enable_javascript.php";
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"5; URL=$urlRefresh\">\r\n";
//header("Refresh: 5; URL=\"" . $urlRefresh . "\""); // redirect in 5 seconds
}
?>
blah
<?php
ob_end_flush();
?>

Sorry what I meant was I wanted to see the source output from the browser, to make sure that you are echoing everything correctly. I should have been more specific.

ShadowIce · February 4, 2010

ok, it SORTA works now.

prob is if they have jscript off

then it 1st takes them to the index page

THEN back to the enable jscript page

which is not right

output

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=index.php">

Ok so the meta is working now? So what is the expected results that you want to happen next?

oni-kun · February 4, 2010

Why not use JS as the redirector? Start off on the enable_JS page, and if JS is enabled it will redirect them (onLoad ..etc). If JS is not enabled, JS won't redirect them and they'll stay on the page. It's pointless to juggle headers around for this ename purpose.

ShadowIce · February 4, 2010

the expected results are that if js=0

then it will redirect them to the same page WITHOUT going back to my main page and THEN taking them back to enable_javascript.php

else

if js=1

then redirect them to index.php WITHOUT going to enable_javascript.php and THEN going to index.php

ShadowIce · February 4, 2010

can someone else plz help?

ShadowIce · February 4, 2010

does anyone else know how to fix this?

merylvingien · February 4, 2010

Headers don't refresh a page, use a meta tag because not all users will have javascript enabled.

Are you sure?

How about

header("Refresh: 5; URL=\"somescript.php\"");

ShadowIce · February 5, 2010

that's not the problem.

the prob is its doing above:

the expected results are that if js=0
then it will redirect them to the same page WITHOUT going back to my main page and THEN taking them back to enable_javascript.php

else

if js=1

then redirect them to index.php WITHOUT going to enable_javascript.php and THEN going to index.php

oni-kun · February 5, 2010

if (isset($_GET['js']) && $_GET['js'] == 0) {
    header('Refresh: 5; url=enable_javascript.php');
} else {
    header('Refresh: 5; url=index.php');
}

Turn output buffering off please, And tell me:

a) What script are you calling this from, the index.php itself?

b) Where is the GET value 'JS' defined, and why does it need to be refreshed every 5 seconds?

I don't see a point in this, you're just trying useless code for no apprent reason , you may as well not even call this a PHP question.

ShadowIce · February 5, 2010

the point of the 5 second refresh is because i cant tell the browser if their javascript is enabled or not. only on REFRESH i can do that and its not the index file it uses:

metarefresh here

</noscript>

and if they have noscript on, then it redirects them to enable_javascript.php where im having the problem above

ShadowIce · February 5, 2010

anyone......?

ShadowIce · February 6, 2010

anyone?..

and i waited 12 hours to bump

ShadowIce · February 6, 2010

if someone could show me how to do this, i would be greatful. this problem has bugged me for the last time

WolfRage · February 8, 2010

POst what you have so far for each page that is involved. Use the php brakets to make it readable and scrollable, then I will look it over and try to give you a solution.
