help with script

**benzspida** · 04-01-2006, 09:11 PM

trying to create a script that will redirect user to a new webpage based on the user's browser preference.

dont know if this script is right is the write way to write one

<? php

header ('location: http://www.yahoo.com/' http://www.msn.com/' http://www.ask.com/' ) ;

? >

or

<?

header ( "location: $_post [location]"); exit;

?>

thanks

PHP Code:


<?



header("Location: ".$_POST["location"]);



?>

This will redirect to whatever value is posted with the name "location". I'm not sure if that's all you're looking for, if not, pleace clarify.

how about redirecting users to more than one location

You can only redirect to one location. You can have the location be a variable (as in b.b.'s post), but it will be incumbent upon you to write the logic that sets that variable's value. Not knowing what you mean by "based on the user's browser preference", I can't really suggest any specifics.

this is what my html code looks like
<html>
<head>
<title>

</title>
</head>
<body>

<form method= "post" Action="do_redirect.php">

<p>send me to:

<select name="location">

<option value= "http://www.msn.com/">msn</option>

<option value= "http://www.expedia.com/">expedia</option>

<option value= "http://www.microsoft.com/">microsoft</option>

</select>

<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go!"></p>

</form>
</body>
</html>

do_redirect.php:

PHP Code:


<?php

// set location if provided from form, else set it to default page:

$location = (!empty($_POST['location'])) ? $_POST['location'] :

            "http://your.site.com/index.php";

// go to that page:

header("Location: $location");

?>
