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 )

<?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']; ?>"/>

[Excellent]

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 ^^
