go to URL

Anon

I have a few html pages in my index.php3 script and I call it using a tag like index.php3?action=goto&page=home

I would like to know how to also add this

index.php3?action=goto&url=http://www.somewere.com

how do I get the script to redirect the user to a page?

Anon

On index.php3 at the top do something like this
<?php
if ($action == "goto") {
header("Location: $url");
}

Well that won't work because I don't actually specify the url in that area of the code.

Here is how I have it:

<?
if ($action == "goto") {
?>

    <?php 
    if ($url == "$???") { 
    header("Location: $???"); 
    }
    ?>

<?
if ($page == "home") {
?>

<?PHP
require ('/home/~username/domain.com/php-header.php3');
?>

<a href="index.php3?action=goto&url=http://www.somesite.com">somesite.com</a>

<?PHP
require ('/home/~username/domain.com/php-footer.php3');
?>

<?
}
<?

How can I get the script to redirect the url in the html to the site?

Not sure as to what you are asking. Do you want an automatic redirect, then you must use the header function. If you want user interaction then you must either have them click a link or submit a form in which case you can use an href to go to the other page or submit a form to itself and do like I said before adding a if ($submit) clause nat the top

I would like the script to understand to redirect the user when he/she clicks on a link.

www.mydomain.com/index.php3?action=goto&url=http://www.yahoo.com

when they click on it, the script will redirect the user to yahoo from my website.

How would I do this?

This will submit the page to itself then it will test to see if the variable $action exists if it does it will redirect the page to the given url
<?php
if ($action) {
header("Location: $url");
}
?>

<head>
</head>
<body>
printf('<a href="%s?action=goto&url=%s">%s</a>', $PHP_SELF, $url, $url);
</body>
