I need direction... redirection actually!

[FourthChapter]

I am making a simple redirect script:

<?php
if (!$id)
{ include("./main.php?usn=$usn");
}
else
{ include("./$id.php?usn=$usn");
}
?>

all the pages are present, but i get the error:

Warning: Failed opening 'main.php?usn=admin' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /homepages/index.php on line 6

any ideas?

thanks very much

the [man]include()[/man] function does not redirect you to a page, it only includes one in the same as you're already in... what I think you want is the [man]header()[/man] function!

<?php
if (!$id)
{ header("Location: main.php?usn=" . $usn);
}
else
{ header("Location: " . $id . ".php?usn=" . $usn);
}
?>

Hey thanks for the idea, but this script goes in my index.php page in a table so instead of loading a whole new page, just loads the centeral section of the page from another file.

It says it cannot open the file, is there a problem with the include path, or does that not matter

Thanks v much

well, yes, somethings wrong with your include() statement... the path to the file is probably invalid...

well the 'main.php' file is in the right place but the error states:

Warning: Failed opening 'main.php?usn=admin' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /homepages/index.php on line 6

does the include_path need to be changed to '/homepages/' ???

because doesnt it think that the page is in '.:/usr/local/lib/php/main.php' or not? soz im a newb

not quite sure... try this:

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/path/to/file.php");
