PHP Redirection Page

[hummy]

Hi All,

 

I'm doing some testing using Google Website Optimiser and i have a problem which i wonder if you might be able to help me with.

 

Basically with website optimiser you need a common conversion page that all variations land at to track conversions.

 

My problem is this that the pages i want to test are all very different in design and have different conversion (thankyou) pages based on teh site design. So i'm wondering if i can put some sort of bridge page that all conversion come through to before being redirected to the thank you page.

 

so for example index1.html goes to conversion.php page which then redirects to thanks1.html

index2.html goes to conversion.php page then redirecting to thanks2.html

 

this would get over the issue of having one common conversion page.

 

I know to redirect a page i can use the following code:

 

<?php

 

header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/new_page.html' ) ;

 

?>

 

But i need to add this to redirect specific incoming pages to different thank you pages.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Is this what you're looking for? if not sorry, just an idea.

 

 

in the URL You could try http://domain.com/page.php?thankyou=payment

 

<?php
$thankyou = $_GET['thankyou'];

switch($thankyou) {
case payment:
header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/thankyouPayment.html' ) ;
break;

case donation:
header('Location: http://www.yoursite.com/thankyouDonation.html');
break;

case else:
header('Location http://www.yoursite.com/');
break;
}

Thanks. So let me just make sure i understand.

 

I create one php page with the code you have specified above. And i put in the urls to both thank you pages with the relvant conditions. In you example ytou have the conditions being payment & donation.

 

Then on the landing pages i put the url redirect path to be

http://domain.com/page.php?thankyou=payment on one page and

http://domain.com/page.php?thankyou=donation on the other page.

 

Is that right? That sounds like it could work.

Sorry i'm not a PHP developer but just trying to learn this stuff myself.

 

Within this php code am i able to put the google conversion code as well? Is that within the php tags...or do i need to create new tags for that.
