Redirection based on the value of a URL query string.

[steveorg]

I’m a PHP noob. I’d like to do something that seems like it should be simple, but then again, I’m known as an optimist.

What I’d like to do is redirect a user based on the value of a URL query using a mysql table lookup to create the redirection string. For example:

If the URL is http://mysite.com?id1=in then the redirection URL should look like http://othersite.com?id2=out. The mysql database name is urls and the table is redirection. The field names are incoming and outgoing – ‘in’ would be looked up in the field called incoming to find the value of ‘out’ in outgoing.

Also, if the URL is http://mysite.com/in, could the same redirection be created? Any and all help is appreciated.

you can use various PHP methods to parse the url
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php

You can use $_GET['id1'] pass it to the DB get a result based on it then formulate

header("Location: http://theothersite?id2=out");

or whichever way you are redirecting....
