[SOLVED] Redirect to a URL

[trink]

I've been searching all over for this and for some reason, I can't find anything viable.

I found http_redirect on http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.http-redirect.php, and I used it on my page, and it returned this.  Fatal error: Call to undefined function: http_redirect().

What would I do to redirect the user to a page AND keep the variables that were set?

<?php

header("Location: http://ImAstupidIdoit.com";

?>

 

I believe that would work.

It redirected the page, but it didn't keep all the variables.  Is there any way to keep all the variables stored when it redirects?

If you Post them to the next page i'm sure its possible or if the page is blank you could include the page

The easiest way would be pass all the parameters you need along with the url:

<?php
header("location:http://www.yoursite.com/file.php?foo=bar&var=something");
?>

 

You can then retrieve them using from the $_GET array.

How would I post them to the next page?

$_CONFIG is an array, and I'd like to post it so that I can get it on the next page with $_POST

How would I go about doing that?

I don't want to use hidden inputs, and I don't want to do it via the URL.

 

Any tips?

 

Thanks

Your only remaining alternative is sessions.

Sounds good. How would I do that?

 

Thanks

long story short:

 

page 1:

 

session_start();

$_SESSION['var1'] = "hello world";

 

page 2:

 

session_start();

echo $_SESSION['var1'];

I got all that, and so I thought the problem was something a bit different, but it turns out it was the host's problem with the ftp.  Thanks

Pretty sure this should be a sticky.
