header refresh url

[kessels1234]

Hi,

 

Hope someone can help:

 

I want to use the header refresh with a dynamic url. What I want is to redirect to klant_actions.php?klant_id=$validid

 

The problem is with the $validid. It doesn't show up in the url. It is probably a formating problem but I can't seem to solve it by myself.

 

I tried this:

$returnurl = "klant_action.php?klant_id=$validid";

and then something like this:

 

header('Refresh: 1; URL='.$returnurl);

 

When I echo the $returnurl it gives me the correct url

 

header('Refresh: 1; URL=klant_actions?klant_id=$validid');

 

this gives me an empty value in the url

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance

Danny

Variables are not parsed within single quotes, replace them with double quotes

header("Refresh: 1; URL=klant_actions?klant_id=$validid");

Hi Wildteen88

 

I tries that but that doesn't work

 

header("Refresh: 1; URL=klant_actions.php?klant_id=$validid");

 

that gives me in the url:

klant_actions.php?klant_id=

 

Any other suggestions?

Where is the variable $validid being defined? Need to see more code.

[kessels1234]

The variable $validid is coming from a $_GET

 

if (isset($_GET['klant_id']) == TRUE) 
{ 
	if (is_numeric($_GET['klant_id']) == FALSE) 
	{ 
	$error = 1; 
	} 
if ($error == 1) 
	{ 
	header("Location: ".$config_basedir); 
	} 
	else 
	{ 
	$validid = $_GET['klant_id']; 
	} 
} 

 

This can't be the problem because where ever I echo out this $validid on the page it gives me the right result

OK found it.

 

The header refresh was inside a function and I think that must have been the problem. I replaced it and now it works

 

Thanks for the help
