Using Query Strings?

[Anon]

Hello people!

I searched everywhere and viewed sources on how to use ?url=www.yahoo.com thingie don't know whats it called.

Basically if i put hyper link on an image which is http://www.testing.com/redirect.php?url=1 i want it to redirect the user to www.yahoo.com.
if it was http://www.testing.com/redirect?url=2 then it will redirect to www.altavista.com etc
how can i achieve this with out using mysql, but storing urls in the redirect.php script

:o

Dear Newbie,

If you are trying to redirect a user to a URl of any sort try using header("location='whereyouwanttogo.com/blabla.htm'"); within an IF condition.

Now there's a very important thing you should know and remember: YOU CAN'T ECHO ANYTHING to screen. (But if it's only a re-routing script you shouldn't have any echos in your script).

I hope this help.

To solve you particular problem try doing this:

<?

$url_array[1] = "http://www.yahoo.com";
$url_array[2] = "http://www.altavista.com";

header("Location: " . $url_array[$url]);

?>

Now you can call redir.php?url=1 and have it shoot to yahoo
