If Install.php Exists, redirect to install.php

[private_guy]

Hi there,

 

My script has an install.php file which if it exists, I want it to redirect to the install.php file. I entered this code in index.php:

//----------------------------
// Checking If Install File Exists!
//----------------------------
if(is_dir('./install.php') and $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != 'localhost')
{
header("Location: ./install.php");
die();
}
//----------------------------
// Finished Checking
//----------------------------

But it didn't work, it just views index.php naturally, even if install.php exists, what I'm I doing wrong?

 

Many thanks for your help.

 

Best Regards,

Well, you cannot use is_dir like that.  install.php is a file, not a directory.

[private_guy]

Oh really? Didn't know that, can you help me then?

First of all why on earth would you use is_dir() on a file.

 

Please read the manual at php.net for functions you do not understand.

 

instead use file_exists();

Okay thanks, but this is the basic code which i want:

 If the file install.php exists
then redirect to install.php
else
null

 

Many thanks for your guys help and support.

I don't if this is solved... but:

 

if(file_exists('directory/install.php')) {
         header('directory/install.php');
}
else {

 

something like that should work, i'm not sure about the header script i've never used it

[plutomed]

header('location:directory/install.php');

[LiamProductions]

header('location:directory/install.php');

 

Yeah, I looked it up about 5 minutes ago because i had ago at making this scipt

Well I just use this, wouldn't this work?

//----------------------------
// Checking If Install File Exists!
//----------------------------
if(file_exists('./install.php') and $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != 'localhost')
{
header("Location: ./install.php");
die();
}
//----------------------------
// Finished Checking
