Redirecting...

[Anon]

Well simply one question: I saw on a lot of sites links like http://www.mysite.com/folder/?something=other

and I wanted to know how to use these into a redirecting script.

I know there are plenty of them ready around, but I want to make one myself.

I prepare a page with the header function, but can I use this:

http://www.mysite.com/redirect/?url=http://othersite.com ?

how?

thanks

To redirect you can use php.. all you have to do is call the followingf function...

header("Location: http://othersite.com");

NOTE: this function can only be used if no ouput has been sent to the page...

Lastly, it seems that you are a little confused about when people put stuff like http://www.page.com?something=stuff

That is generally used to pass information needed for the following page.. it is NOT a redirect but rather information that gets passed along from one page to another.. ie something like a sessionID would be passed..
