How to do redir.php?page=http://****.com

[liber77]

I have tried to make a redirect like this: redir.php?page=http://****.com

<?php
if(is_file($_GET['page'])){$page = $_GET['page'];}
else{$page = "DEFAULT.php";}
header("Location: ".$page);
?>

But I only get:

 

Forbidden

 

You don't have permission to access /redir.php on this server.

 

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

What should I do? Could it have something to do with encoding of special characters?

 

Ordinary php scripts like

<?php
echo "Hello";
?>

Works fine.

Have you tried it without the http:// in the url?

The redir.php script works fine for me on my local php installation.

 

Are there any odd .htaccess rules or anything of that sort that may be affecting the way your routing is getting handled?

I just don't know. I am using hostgator. I don't understand the problem.

What are the permissions on redir.php on the file server?

You don't have permission to access /redir.php on this server.

 

Likely a permissions issue. Using your FTP client or through SSH, set the permissions to 755.

 

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

 

This just means you're trying to use a custom 404 error page that doesn't exist itself.
