[RESOLVED] header('Location: ' . $_GET['xxx']) ??

HRUDKA

Hi guyz,

I have this little problem with a PHP and I cannot solve it. In address bar:

http://www.page.com/something.php?v=xxx.

Script written in my PHP file:

$var = $_GET['v'];
header('Location: something2.php?v2=' . $var);

After this script it shows me this in address bar:

http://www.page.com/something2.php?v2=

Weird is, that if I change variable $var to:

$var = 'blah'
header('Location: something2.php?v2=' . $var);

..then it works how it should work,..

What is wrong? I am trying to use this type of script to redirect user back where he was, when he is trying to log in my members area - then it would be more complicated, I only wanna know how to solve this expression. Thanks in advance, HRUDKA.

Use $var = $_GET['v2'];

Notice the difference?

I dun get it, Im using v=xxx to put variable v into the browsers address bar. Then Im trying to get this variable with $GET['v'] and it works. If I write there echo $GET['v'];, it will show me "xxx".

OK, I got it. It wasnt working because of exit;, I dont know why, but it works now.

Only for members page - starts with:

if(!isset($_SESSION['user'])) {
    session_unset();
    session_destroy();
	session_start();
  	$lol = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 11); //this gives me what I want - my page string - for example "kde=9"
  	$_SESSION['return'] = $lol;
    header("location: index.php?kde=6"); //log in redirect
    exit;
  }

//...Member page continues...

      session_start();
      $_SESSION['uzivatel'] = $_POST['formuzivatel'];
      $_SESSION['jmeno'] = $row['jmeno'];
      $_SESSION['email'] = $row['email'];
      $_SESSION['prijmeni'] = $row['prijmeni'];
      $_SESSION['prezdivka'] = $row['prezdivka'];
      $_SESSION['lastlog'] = $row['lastlog'];
      $_SESSION['id'] = $row['id'];
      $_SESSION['ICQ'] = $row['ICQ'];
      header('Location: admin.php?'.$_SESSION['return'].'&PHPSESSID='.$PHPSESSID);
      // exit; - HERE WAS THE PROBLEM

And same problem was with that GET['v'], that I used before. It works now too. Better to use SESSIONS, but I didnt want to complicate it.
