Header mailto

[phpbuild-it]

Hi All,

I have developed an ad monitoring system so when users click on an ad, it will record the click and redirect the user to the approrpiate URL or email address.

Everything was working fine until I upgraded my I.E to version 6. What I need to know is there a way to open the user's email application without opening a new window using header("Location: mailto")

Thx

OK,

When clicking an ad, it will pass the ad_id var and having retrieved $url from the DB, the clicks.php script will contain something like this:

// Ad redirect to email application
if (ereg("@",$url))
{
header("Location: mailto:$url");
exit;

}
// Ad redirect to url
else
{
header("Location: [url]http://[/url]$url");
exit;
}

hi,

This is working

<?php

if (ereg("@",$url))
{
echo"<script language=javascript>location.href='mailto:".$url."'</script>";
exit;

}
// Ad redirect to url
else
{
header("Location: [url]http://[/url]$url");
exit;
}

?>

Thx. I has partially worked. How would I close the new window when it's being redirected to an email application?

Before upgrading, I am sure by clicking onto the script it had opened the application without a new browser.

Thx again

hai,
to close the window u can use the following code

<?php

if (ereg("@",$url))
{
echo"<script language=javascript>location.href='mailto:".$url."'</script>";
echo"<script language=javascript>window.close();</script>";

exit;

}
// Ad redirect to url
else
{
header("Location: [url]http://[/url]$url");
exit;
}

?>
