BenInBlack Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 are you trying to incorporate gmail page into your page or simply creating a link based on $a like <a href="<? if ($a = "hello") { echo "http://yahoo.com";} else {echo "http://gmail.com";} ?>"> go here </a> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79072-run-a-link/#findComment-400163 Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam291086 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 This should work if ($a ="hello") { header('Location: your http page); } else { header('Location: your http page); } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79072-run-a-link/#findComment-400169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenInBlack Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 for one thing the code i gave will only generate one link, if you notice im just if'ing the href portion of a single link, but now i understand what your wanting you can do it thru javascipt on the body tag onload event. <body onload="window.location = '<? if ($a = "hello") { echo "http://yahoo.com";} else {echo "http://gmail.com";} ?>'> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79072-run-a-link/#findComment-400173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmith Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 header won't work in the middle of the html , it should be at the top . before html begins any special code that simply opens a link automaticlly anywhere on the page ?

BenInBlack Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 you can call header tags half way down a PHP file, if you use the Output Buffering code <? ob_start(); ... lots of content here.... $location = "location: http://www.gmail.com"; ob_clean(); header('HTTP/1.0 302 Found'); header($location); ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79072-run-a-link/#findComment-400179 Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 header won't work in the middle of the html , it should be at the top . before html begins any special code that simply opens a link automaticlly anywhere on the page ? (PHP) It is ilogical to attempt to display data and then redirect. What is the point of displaying something if your simply going to redirect to another page? I suggest you adjust your logic accordingly, or use the previously posted buffering hack.

trq Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 what does output buffer exactlly do ? It buffers all output into memory, once you call ob_flush the buffer is then sent to the client in one go.

BenInBlack Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 it holds the OUTPUT in a BUFFER until it is released by an OB_FLUSH type command, but PHP auto flushes the buffer on end of the php file. I use it all the time http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-start.php Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79072-run-a-link/#findComment-400188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHP_PhREEEk Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Almost any IF logic that would generate a redirection can be tested long before any output to the browser, and therefore header should work fine. You need to fix the coder PhREEEk Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79072-run-a-link/#findComment-400191 Share on other sites More sharing options...
