Redirect from header with conditional statement

[estreetfan999]

Hi,

 

Why doesn't this work? Driving me nuts! Thanks.

 

<?php

    if($_SERVER[php_SELF] == 'somepage.php')

{

    Header("Location: http://www.thissite.com");

    } else {

    Header("Location: http://www.anothersite.com");

    }

?>

 

The code NEVER redirects to the first URL (thissite.com). It ALWAYS redirects to  the second URL (anothersite.com).

 

What the heck am I doing wrong?

First, you need to use quotes around strings. Since associative arrays use strings for keys, you need quotes around the key 'PHP_SELF'.

 

Second, have you echo'd $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] to verify it contains what you expect?

 

It probably doesn't contain 'somepage.php', otherwise it would execute the first header() call.

Thanks.

 

I'm using an include file, which has this redirect code in it. 

 

<?php require_once('include-test.php'); ?>

 

Placed this include file at the very top of somepage.php

 

I added the quotes around 'PHP_SELF'

 

Still going to second link and ignoring the first link.

Did you echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] to see what it actually contains?

Yes. Just did.

 

Thanks so much. That was the answer.

 

($_SERVER[php_SELF] == 'somepage.php') was actually going to /solutions/somepage.php (that's my file structure)

 

It all works now. Really appreciate the help.
