Is this even possible? Deals with URL redirecting.

[ginger44]

This is what I'm trying to do...

I have a JSP page that I want to be accessed by being redirected.

Lets call this JSP page http://www.whatever.jsp?whatsup8

I was wondering, with PHP, is it possible to somehow just redirect the http://www.whatever.jsp? part and still be able to include the whatsup8 with the new redirected URL at the end.

Example:

The redirector page will be http://www.redirect.php

I will then place it as http://www.redirect.phpwhatsup8 or something like that and it will go to http://www.whatever.jsp?whatsup8 with redirect.php being the redirector.

I have many whatsup pages with different numbers, which is why I'm trying to do this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I *think* I understand you. Try this:
[code]<?php

  if (isset($_GET) && key($_GET)!="") {

    header("http://www.whatever.jsp?".key($_GET));

  } else {

    echo "No parameter on the query string.";

  }

?>[/code]

If his solution doesn't work (which it probably will), you could try CURL.
As far as I  know JSP, and PHP both have support for CURL, atleast I think JSP does.

As well intentioned as he is being you don't really want cURL in this situation.

What am I supposed to do with that code? I tried saving it as a php file, so it looks like:

http://www.redirect.phpwhatsup88

Am I doing something wrong?

[Zoud]

Shouldn't it look like this?

http://www.redirect.php?whatsup88

[ginger44]

Tried that as well, didn't work

[Psycho]

You should save that as a PHP page named: "redirect.php". You would then type into your browser the following "http://www.domain.com/redirect?whatsup88".

Whatever "parameter" you enter after the question mark will be appended to the end of the jsp page that you are calling.

[ginger44]

Nope, that didnt work either. You're missing the .php after redirect in that code.

Ok, I'm trying to help you here. Your original question was not very clear and I did my best to interpret it. My code does "exactly" what I stated it does. You stated that you wanted to redirect to a jsp page, so whay do I need to put php in the redirect code.

In your original question you stated you wanted the following pages:  http://www.redirect.php &  http://www.whatever.jsp. Those aren't valid pages because there is no DOMAIN and php and jsp are not TLDs. So, I assumed you meant http://www.domain.com/redirect.php.

Anyway, if you saved the code above as a file named redirect.php and you placed it in the root of your website, then typing in http://www.yourdomain.com?123456 would redirect you to http://yourdomain.com/whatever.jsp?123456

is that not what you wanted? If not, please explain exactly what you want.

[ginger44]

Yes and that didn't work. Is it because the URL I'm trying to be redirected isn't from my domain?

[Ninjakreborn]

I don't know much about curl yet, so you probably want to take his advice.

You're trying to have a page on someone else's domain redirect to your site?

OMG HAX!

If you are trying to redirect TO an external site, then that is possible (in fact I tested my code by having it redirect to Yahoo). If you want to have an external site redirected to your site, then, uh, how should I put this: NO!

[ginger44]

No, my site redirected to their site, not the other way around...

[Psycho]

Well, I don't know what to tell you. I tested it and it works. As I said I built the solution based upon my interpretation of your requirements. I made assumptions where your requirements were obviously incorrect (e.g. the domain names). If you want to give a clear example of your exact needs I can help further.

For example:

[color=orange][i]I want that when the user types in http://www.mydomain.com/redirect.php?somecode that they are redirected to http://www.differentdomain.com/somepage.jsp?somecode[/i][/color]

That is what I had interpreted and coded for.
