php header

Anon

I have a script that needs to work this way. Basically if someone types in my domain, www.domain.com it should redirect the user to www.domain.com/?tab=home

the index.phtml queries the mysql database to look for a valid $tab variable. If it does, it includes the page for it..

ex.

?tab=home
?tab=support
?tab=products

So basically I need an if statement at the top of my script that redirects the user to www.domain.com/?tab=home if he/she typed in www.domain.com or domain.com

Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this helps but...

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php
--Snip from php.net--

header ("Location: http://www.php.net"); / Redirect browser to PHP web site /
exit; / Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. /

--End Snippet--

Hi,

I am wondering, for all the PHP files I've written, if I clicked on the "back" button on the browser, it will show:

"Data Missing

This document resulted from a POST operation and has expired from the cache. If you wish you can repost the form data to recreate the document by pressing the reload button. "

However, many PHP sites don't have this kind of problem ... Can anyone teach me how to fix this?

Thanks.

Why don't you just take tab=home if tab isn't set? That way you won't have to do any redirection or anything.

otherwise, as Zalk said,

header("Location: http://www.domain.com/?tab=home");

would do it.
