PHP - Vanity Url Redirect

maybe a silly question, but when somebody visits my site i.e. domain.com i want it to redirect them to www.domain.com

example can be seen @ facebook.com

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out if I can get a redirect page to work, without needing to use the header("Location: page.php"); command.

I know with asp, there is a response.redirect for redirecting pages, but, with the header, I can only use this, if there is no output before calling the command.

Is there any method that can be used where I can process some code, if output is required, and depending on processing on the page, redirect it to another page, using a command similar to response.redirect?

I have seen the http_redirect, but I can only see this working with clearing buffers etc. I have also a redirect_to("page.php"); command, but I cannot get this to work.

I am using php 5.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi guys, this is my first post here.

I'm looking for some help with some code for a form submission. It all works fine but if I add in a redirect using the advice found he http://www.computing.net/answers/webdevel/redirection-after-submit-php-form/3580.html. I'm using the following code:
Code: [Select]
<?php

header ('Location: http://www.jwhunterhill.co.uk/return.html');
exit ();

if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
     
    // EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
    $email_to = "xxx@gmail.com";
    $email_subject = "E-mail from JWHunterHill.co.uk";
     
     
    function died($error) {
        // your error code can go here
        echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
        echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
        echo $error."<br /><br />";
        echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
        die();
    }
     
    // validation expected data exists
    if(!isset($_POST['first_name']) ||
        !isset($_POST['last_name']) ||
        !isset($_POST['email']) ||
        !isset($_POST['telephone']) ||
        !isset($_POST['comments'])) {
        died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');       
    }
     
    $first_name = $_POST['first_name']; // required
    $last_name = $_POST['last_name']; // required
    $email_from = $_POST['email']; // required
    $telephone = $_POST['telephone']; // not required
    $comments = $_POST['comments']; // required
     
    $error_message = "";
    $email_exp = "^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$";
  if(!eregi($email_exp,$email_from)) {
    $error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
  }
    $string_exp = "^[a-z .'-]+$";
  if(!eregi($string_exp,$first_name)) {
    $error_message .= 'The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
  }
  if(!eregi($string_exp,$last_name)) {
    $error_message .= 'The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
  }
  if(strlen($comments) < 2) {
    $error_message .= 'The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid.<br />';
  }
  if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
    died($error_message);
  }
    $email_message = "Form details below.\n\n";
     
    function clean_string($string) {
      $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
      return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
    }
     
    $email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n";
    $email_message .= "Last Name: ".clean_string($last_name)."\n";
    $email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
    $email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n";
    $email_message .= "Comments: ".clean_string($comments)."\n";
     
     
// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);  
?>
 
<!-- include your own success html here -->
 
Thank you for contacting me. I will be in touch with you very soon.
 
<?php
}
?>
As I said the code works fine just if I include the redirect, the form will not send me an e-mail as required. Could you help me out please?

Thanks in advance,

Jonathon

Hello,

Basicly, I want to make a php index, but make a certain redirect from it, for example, make:

http://mysite.com/index.php?goto=forums

Go to forums of my link choice, is their a simple code I can use?

Thanks

Can anyone enlighten me on why this doesn't redirect and if there's a better / different way of achieving a redirect deep within a page?

<?php
echo"anything"; // remove this echo or even make it blank and it redirects as expected
header("location:blah.php");
?>

Ok I know I can redirect using:

header( 'Location: URL' ) ;


Now, is there a way to delay this after a short while of displaying or would I have to use Javascript?

how do i redirect page within an if/else statement

Hi all,

I have

a page url that looks like this:

jobs.php?view=view&id=5

Their is a login on this page, the form ends with this command:

header("Location: ".$session->referrer);

The fuction for this is:


<?php
function startSession(){
      global $database;  //The database connection
      session_start();   //Tell PHP to start the session

      /* Determine if user is logged in */
      $this->logged_in = $this->checkLogin();

      /**
       * Set guest value to users not logged in, and update
       * active guests table accordingly.
       */
      if(!$this->logged_in){
         $this->username = $_SESSION['username'] = GUEST_NAME;
         $this->userlevel = GUEST_LEVEL;
         $database->addActiveGuest($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $this->time);
      }
      /* Update users last active timestamp */
      else{
         $database->addActiveUser($this->username, $this->time);
      }
      
      /* Remove inactive visitors from database */
      $database->removeInactiveUsers();
      $database->removeInactiveGuests();
      
      /* Set referrer page */
      if(isset($_SESSION['url'])){
         $this->referrer = $_SESSION['url'];
      }else{
         $this->referrer = "/";
      }

      /* Set current url */
      $this->url = $_SESSION['url'] = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
   }
?>

Basically

 $this->url = $_SESSION['url'] = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

seems to cut my url to:

 jobs.php

instead of:

jobs.php?view=view&id=5

Can anyone here tell me how to fix this?

Thanks Guys

<?php
$get = fetch("SELECT number FROM dom")
if "$get = 1"
echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0;url=http://toxicpets.co.uk/down_for_maitenence.php'>";
elseif "$get = 0"
echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0;url=http://toxicpets.co.uk/index.php'>";
?>

is this code right???

if you go to this page here

http://www.nikita-andrews.com/ingrid/?page_id=34 you see it is a three column grid layout

if you click on image and go to single post you will see above the post it will either say HOME/PORTFOLIO/CURRENT PAGE or HOME/(CATEGORY)/CURRENT PAGE

if you click on Portfolio or Category (whichever category it may be) it takes you back to a vertical list of all the post in the category like such http://www.nikita-andrews.com/ingrid/?cat=5 ... is there a way to redirect that link to go back to the 3 grid layout portfolio or portfolio category page?

Using wordpress ... not sure where the php would be located. Im guessing in single.php but not sure where the code for that function is located in there

 

Im setting up members on my site i want the profile url to be like www.mywebsite.com/NATHAN but not go to a folder on my server called nathan but instead go to mywebsite.com/?profile=Nathan 

Ok, so let's say my website is bob.com - fine. Well, I want to have sam.com also, but can't afford to pay for Deluxe hosting. So I get the domain, but I forward sam's DNS servers to point at Bob, with masking on.

What I'm looking to do is to identify what the person typed in - i.e., the original, unmodified URL. Here's what I have currently:

function get_redirect_target($url)
{
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    $headers = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    // Check if there's a Location: header (redirect)
    if (preg_match('/^Location: (.+)$/im', $headers, $matches))
        return trim($matches[1]);
    // If not, there was no redirect so return the original URL
    // (Alternatively change this to return false)
    return $url;
}

$path = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
echo get_redirect_target($path);

The main problem here is that it's VERY slow. I'm also often getting a 500 error. Anyone have any ideas?

I have made a website (https://sokk.ga/), and I want to log the users public ip whenever he/she clicks one of the links, and then redirect him/her to the correct url.

It's supposed to be a little php "script" between the main page and clicked link.

The problem i face is that it shows the php code as plain text in the browser (chrome), no redirect or log.

Here's my attempt:

 

<php?

date_default_timezone_set("Norway/Oslo");

$ipFile = fopen("../logg/ip.txt");

$ipText = time("Y.m.d" + "-" + "H:i:s") + "-" + $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] + "\n";

fwrite("$ipText", $ipFile);

fclose("../logg/ip.txt");

exit;

header("https://sokk.ga/skole/");
