Url

[ryan1234]

I'm trying to get the URL of the current page and if it equals the stated URL, then the page redirects.

 

$page = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if ($page == "index.php") {
header('Location: index.php?id=1');
}

 

However the code above doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

Have you echoed $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] to see if that gives you a clue what the problem might be?

Also, I recommend reading this post. To secure yourself against XSS attacks.

Thanks. I've got it working, however it goes into a continuous loop. How would I stop this once I'm on the redirected page?

Redirect to somewhere that isn't index.php.  All your doing is checking to see if the page you're on is index.php, and if it is, redirect to index.php (which is causing your infinite loop).

You don't even need the redirect, just set $_GET['id'] directly.
