Redirects based on URL variables...

[mkosmosports]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to invoke a redirect to another html page (error page) based on the condition that a user selects certain variables in the URL. I know an if statement would have to be used, and I would use "if $variable =>.." so greater than or equal to. But I cant think of a way to invoke the redirect.....

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot,

Hi,

You have to use the META tag for this

[code]<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://mypage/index2.php">[/code]

Use the header() function...

[code]
<?php

if ($var == 1){
  header("Location: index.php");
}
elseif ($var == 2){
  header("Location: contact.php");
}
else {
  header("Location: error.php");
}
?>
[/code]

Regards

If you want to redirect a user use header, For example say you had a login script and then you checked for the logout variabled in the url If you find it you'll redirect the user to the logout page:
[code=php:0]if(isset($_GET['logout') && $_GET['logout'] == 'true')
{
    header("Location: logout.php");
}[/code]
