'go_to_url'() ?

tbrinton

I’m trying to write a simple ‘if ‘ statement that instructs the browser to load a url if a condition is true. I can’t find any simple ‘go to url’ functions in PHP. Please help...

Example:

<?php

$x = $http_post_vars["x"];

if ($x=="foo") {
go_to_url("page2.html");
}
else {
echo "condition is false";
}

=============

Fixed example above per Shrike's observation

Ok, rewriting your script as follows:

<?php

$x = $http_post_vars["x"];

if ($x==$x) {
header("Location:page2.html");
}
else {
echo "condition is false";
}

?>

or you can use meta-refresh =)

echo "<meta blah blah blah"

Shrike

if($x == $x){
  ...
}

Uhm, that makes no sense 🙂

if ($x==$x) {

}

whats the logic behind here?

maybe try:

<?php 

$x = $http_post_vars["x"]; 

if ($x=="value") { 
header("Location:nameofpage.html"); 
} 
else { 
echo "condition is false"; 
} 

?>

you dont need an else statement, but it is good for error handeling... so you could do:

if ($x=="value") { 
header("Location:nameofpage.html"); 
}
