PHP Redirect script [Tutorial I guess..]

[Independent]

<?php

$time = ("3");

if($_GET['url'] == "yourhomepage.whatever") {
echo("You will be redirected to the homepage in ". $time ." seconds.");
}
else {
print("You will be redirected too ". $_GET['url'] ." in ". $time ." seconds.");
}
?>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="<?php echo $time; ?>;url=<?php echo $_GET['url']; ?>"/>
Doubt this well help anyone, but it's a redirection script I quickly made for newbies..

Create a page.. something like redirect.php, then visit redirect.php?url=websiteyouwishtogoto

Change yourpage.whatever too the URL of your homepage or something..

This is probably more like a tutorial, but for some reason I couldn't post there, hope this code helps somebody..

Also, change the value of $time if you wish for it too be quicker or slower, it goes by seconds if you did not know.

They both redirect to the same place so shouldnt you just do this :S

header ("location: homepage.php");

That's an instant redirection, I wanted to warn the user that they was about to leave the page.

& It just has diffrent text

You will be redirected to the homepage in ". $time ." seconds.
You will be redirected too ". $_GET['url'] ." in ". $time ." seconds.

I dont see the point in different text though, as they both go to the same page.

3 things:
1) stop using "" to echo stuff when you don't need it.
2) stop using print, it's slower and I doubt you need to get the integer it returns.
3) stop using == on $_GET or $_POST they always come through as strings so use === (=== is the same thing and the same type)

Using print is a habbit, and ty for the === thing..

You learn something new everyday :)

Code update.. (if your interested :P)



<?php

$time = ("3");

if($_GET['url'] === "yourhomepage.whatever") {
echo("You will be redirected to the homepage in ". $time ." seconds.");
}
else {
echo("You will be redirected too ". $_GET['url'] ." in ". $time ." seconds.");
}
?>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="<?php echo $time; ?>;url=<?php echo $_GET['url']; ?>"/>

Nice little script but as Jew pointed out, stop using print, echo is faster.

[Baving]

<?php
function redirect($url,$time=0){

if(!headers_sent()){
header("Location: ".$url);
}else{
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="'.$time.';url='.$url.'" />';
}

}
?>

I know, it's a habbit, although I've stopped now ^^

<?php
function redirect( $url, $time = 0 )
{
if( !headers_sent() AND $time == 0)
{
header( 'Location: ' . $url );
}
else
{
echo( '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="' . $time . ';url=' . $url . '" />' );
}

}
?>


Would be better.

Actually it wouldn't, because it's not getting the URL xD

Yes it is, the $url in the function.

Could do it in javascript + some PHP.


<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var time = 3; // in seconds...
var urlRedirect = '<?php echo ( $_GET [ 'url' ] ) ?>';
var time_redirect = time * 1000;

function checkUrl ()
{
// Don't know why we're checking this lawl
if ( urlRedirect == '' )
{
// Don't do nothing...
}
else if ( urlRedirect == 'homepage.php' )
{
// msgbox ( 'You are getting redirected in ' + time + ' seconds...' );
document.write( 'You are getting redirected in ' + time + ' seconds...' );
setTimeout( 'window.location = "' + urlRedirect + '"', time * 1000 );
}
else if ( urlRedirect != '' )
{
// msgbox ( 'You are getting redirected in ' + time + ' seconds...' );
document.write( 'You are getting redirected in ' + time + ' seconds...' );
setTimeout( 'window.location = "' + urlRedirect + '"', time * 1000 );
}
}

</script>
<title>Webpage Redirect</title>
</head>
<body onLoad="checkUrl();">

</body>
</html>

Nice seeing some code, but all of this seems incredibly pointless to one of simplest things.




You will be directed to the page in [insert time here] seconds.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="[insert time here];[insert link here]" />


Ooh look, and we didn't need php.

And echo isn't a function so why on earth would you use parentheses/brackets?

Must of been a long day. :)

How cute, lol.
Charlie thinking he's smarter than the best coder(s).

Doesn't matter if you use brackets or not. Its a personal coding preference.

I can really see [insert time here] and [insert link here] being variables. Hmm. :eusa_eh:

[Hypertext]

There doesn't seem any point in using variables. You only need to output the variables once. Invent that wasn't nice.

[Protege]

Yes, I agree that this script is pretty useless - I'd never use it in all honesty.

nice tutorial ;)
