Redirect

Anon

Greetings,

I've read the some older threads on minicking ASP response.redirect function and am still at a loss.

I can get a form / action to output:

http://www.davidbethel.com/page.php?username=foo

I keep getting header error being already started.

My page.php as of now is;

<?
ob_start();
header("Location: "."http://www.davidbethel.com/"+$HTTP_GET_VARS["username"]);
?>

<body>
You are being redirected to the current folder.
</body>

The end result is to link the browser to

http://www.davidbethel.cm/foo

Any assistance would be greatly appricaited.

you wrote "Any assistance", so i would solve it with java script and php eg

it would work, but i don't know if you wanna use JS in rder to do this if you have the opportunity with manpulating the header as you gave your example code. But if you want give it a try.

function redirect($URL)
{
echo "<script language='javascript'>";//
echo "function redirect(url){" ;
echo "document.location.href=url;}";
echo "redirect($URL)";
echo "</script>";
}

<?
if $HTTP_GET_VARS["username"]) {
$new_page = "/whatever" . $HTTP_GET_VARS . ["username"];
redirect("'$new_page'");
}

Ali,

Thanks!

That works perfectly and as a novice even I understood it. My server is not ASP compliant and trying to learn PHP

Thanks again.

Thanks but I get the folling error with this 1.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting '(' in c:\web\page1.php on line 15

I new to this type of programming and will have to get deeper into the learning curve to understand it thourghly.
