JS and PHP redirecting backwards

[Kudose]

Hello all. In this little snippet below, the script is supposed to take non-JS browsers and redirect them, and take JS supported browsers and open a new window and redirect them.

Here's what it does:

It take the current page and redirects them, and pop's up a new window with the current page.

That's backwards.

Could someone tell me why please?

<?php
if($row['affurl'] !== ""){
			  $clicktime = date("m/d/y h:m:s A");
        $clickip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
        $product = $add;
        $clicksql = @mysql_query("SELECT MAX(clickid)+1 FROM ".$prefix."store_affstats");
        $clickid = @mysql_result($clicksql, 0);
        @mysql_query("INSERT INTO ".$prefix."store_affstats (clickid, product, clickip, clicktime) VALUES ('$clickid', '$product', '$clickip', '$clicktime')");

   ?> 
   <noscript> <?php
   header("Location: ".$row['affurl']); 
		 exit;
		 ?> </noscript>
   <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    window.open(location.href="<?php echo $row['affurl']; ?>");
   </script>
    <?php
		}
?>

TY.

The server will send the redirect header to the client before it sends the <noscript>...<script>... stuff (headers go at the start of an http response, hence the name "header" - obviously you're doing some sort of output buffering) and all of the PHP will run on the server regardless of whether or not Javascript is running on the client.

Is there some reason you're doing popups like this instead of simply targetting a new window in the original link?

Thanks for the explaination.

The reason behind this all if kinda hard to explain.

But given your explanation, it kills that route anyways.

Thanks for the info.
