PHP Redirect

[warrenk]

I am trying to perform a redirect with the following code...

<?php
if ($suppid == "" or $compid == "")
{$link = "http://www.yahoo.com";}
else
{$link = "http://www.yahoo.com";}
endif

header("Location: $link");
exit;
?>

When I run the page, it just sits on a blank screen.  Am I doing something wrong?  I know I have the same URL in my IF condition, this is for testing purposes only.

Thanks for any help!

Are you assining any values to $suppid or $compid?

I just ran that code and it does not like the endif btw

Yes, it does't like the endif. In fact, ive never seen that syntax before, although it looks like you use it with colons instead of braces. Anyway, if i remove the end if and run the script, i get redirected to yahoo.com

I don't know what I am doing wrong.  ??? I tried going to my page from a different computer (in case my redirect was being blocked) and still nothing.

By the way here is the page...

http://www.suppsearch.com/product.php

The code is now...

<?php
if ($suppid == "" or $compid == "")
{$link = "http://www.suppsearch.com"}
else
{$link = "http://www.suppsearch.com"}

header("Location: $link");
exit;
?>

Im guessing that php insn't installed on that site. If you view the source you see your script, which isn't what should be happening.

Try a file with just

[code]
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
[/code]

in it

Here is the page with the PHPINFO...

http://www.suppsearch.com/NewPage1.php

My host uses PHP Version 4.4.4.  Would this be a reason for the redirect not working?  Isn't the latest version 5.2?

What about semicolons? You should also take out the $link out of the double quotes in the header():

[code]<?php

if ($suppid == "" || $compid == "")
$link = "http://www.suppsearch.com";
else
$link = "http://www.suppsearch.com";

header("Location: ".$link);
exit;

?>[/code]

Orio.

If you want to use the endif syntax it must be like
if(condition):
//do something
endif;

and as far as I know, else cannot be use with this method.

[warrenk]

I tried the code...

<?php

if ($suppid == "" || $compid == "")
$link = "http://www.suppsearch.com";
else
$link = "http://www.suppsearch.com";

header("Location: ".$link);
exit;

?>

Now the script just shows up on the page.  I think I may try a different host.

http://www.suppsearch.com/product.php

There's obviously no PHP support on this server. Like you said, try another host.

Orio.

Well i dont quite understand, because it appears that there IS php support...

As shown by the working link which contains phpinfo();
