Redirect issue

NZ_Kiwis

I have a form which posts a URL from it's place where it was posted. for example

myform.php 
mytemplete.php?ID=4

Based on some data my formprocess.php page may take the user back to this orginal page via a header. I also need to add a variable into it such as?Err=1

so it might be

header("Location myform.php?Err=1");

but i have a problem if there submitted URL as a query string in it

header("Location mytemplate.php?ID=4?Err=1");

does not work, it need a & and not a ?

HOw can I do this???

I thought if i have a submitted URL i could do a if statement on the $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; but i'm not sure how??

can someone please help

header("Location:mytemplate.php?ID=4&&Err=1");

No. The location header is lacking protocol and server: http://example.com.

While not a real error, it's &Err=1, not &&Err=1. The GET array won't get an element '' => '' anyway, so the extra & is simply stripped out and thus serves no purpose at all.

Check if it contains something or not. Then either add &... or ?...

Also there needs to be a space after the colon in the location header:

header('Location: protocol://domain.tld/path/to/page.php?query=string');
