querystring question

[lin]

hi all


just a question about query strings. I know how to make simple ones but how would i make a querystring like:

[a href=\"http://www.domain.com/account/login/?continue=redirect_url\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.domain.com/account/login/?continue=redirect_url[/a]

i am guessing index page is in the /login/ folder which display the login part but on the last bit how does the browser know to redirect to the redirect_url when login is successful.

thanks

if you omit the 'index.php'/'index.htm' part, they will just default to that. so in your above example, it is equivalent of:
[a href=\"http://www.domain.com/account/login/index.php?continue=redirect_url\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.domain.com/account/login/?continue=redirect_url[/a]

as for redirecting afterwards, the $_GET array and 'header' function is used.

[code]
$redirect_to = $_GET['continue'];
header("Location: $redirect_to");
exit;
[/code]

cheers
