PHP - 301 Redirect In Dinamic Web Pages

How can one re-direct a visitor, without using a header re-direct?  I'd like a page to show up, then after about 5 seconds I need the visitor sent to another page.  How can I do this?

like if I'm displaying a hundred entries , my website will be super long in length so I wanna break those hundred entries into maybe like 12 per page .  Then click next page or the page number to view the next 12.

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

how do i redirect page within an if/else statement

Hello everyone,
                 I am new to php,and i am making my website......where i am unable to redirect a user to his respctive  homepage..
                Can anyone help me out with a sample script..........

Thanks,
cool_techie

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?

Can someone tell me how to fix this

At the top of every page i have this.
Code: [Select]
<?php include('GiveAway_Control.php');?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
in the GiveAway_Control.php there is the
    Code: [Select]
header("Location: http://www.domain.com/winner.html"); /* Redirect browser */
The GiveAway_Control.php has NO echo statements what so ever.

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

what the syntax to get out from the actual folder and redirect to some file outside ??



<?php
header("Location: ???file.php");
exit;
?>

I having trouble with my re-direct code on my php registration form. The form does submit data to the database but I'm getting the following error.

"Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/25/d232402382/htdocs/testencourage/registration.php:15) in /homepages/25/d232402382/htdocs/testencourage/registration.php on line 87"

I would like the form goes to the thanks.php after submitting the data but its not doing its job. Here is the code.

Code: [Select]
<?php 

if ($_SERVER['HTTPS']) { 
header('location: https://www.fakewebsite.com'); 
} 

the regular html syntax <title>, site  navigation, etc...

?>


<?php 

if (isset($_POST['submitted'])){ 
     
$fields = array( 
    'email', 
    'state', 
    'district', 
    'gender', 
    'age', 
    'profession', 

); 

if (safe($_POST['survey']=="Yes")){ 
    $survey = "Yes"; 
} 
else{ 
    $survey = "No"; 
} 
     

foreach($fields as $fieldName) { 
    if(isset($_POST[$fieldName]) and safe(trim(stripslashes($_POST[$fieldName]))) !==''){ 
        $$fieldName = safe(trim(stripslashes($_POST[$fieldName]))); 
    }else { 
         
                $errors[] = "Please enter your". $fieldName .""; //code to validate fields 
    } 
} 
if(!isset($errors)){ 
     
require_once('Connections/encourage.php'); 

$query = "INSERT INTO participants (email, state, district, gender, age, profession, survey, registration_date)
VALUES ('$email', '$state', '$district', '$gender', '$age', '$profession','$survey', NOW())"; //databasse connection 
    
    $result = mysql_query ($query);      



if ($result){ 
     
    $url = 'http://'. $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); 
     
    if ((substr($url, -1) == '/') || (substr($url, -1) == '\\')) { 
        $url = substr ($url, 0 -1); 
    } 
     
    $url .= '/thanks.php'; 
    header("Location: $url");// this is line 87 
    exit(); 
     
    }else{ 
     
    echo '<h1 id="mainhead">System Error</hl> 
    <p>Your registration could not be completed due to a system error We apologize for any incovience</p>';//gives system error 
    echo 'p' . mysql_error(). '<br /><br />Query: ' . $query . '</p>'; 
    exit(); 
     
    } 
    mysql_close(); 
     
    } else { 
         
        echo '<h1 id="mainhead">Error!</h1> 
        <p class="error">The following error(s) occurred:<br />'; 
        foreach($errors as $msg) { 
            echo " - $msg<br/>\n"; 
        } 
        echo '</p><p>Please try again.</p><p><br/></p>'; 
    } 

} 

function safe($string) 
    { 
        $pattern = "/\r|\n|\%0a|\%0d|Content\-Type:|bcc:|to:|cc:/i"; 
        return preg_replace($pattern, '', $string); 
    } 
     
?>

Also I'm going to set up my ssl on the server so I'm planning to use that https redirect syntax but since I'm very new at this, am I missing something. Your help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

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

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 

Hi,   Can someone tell me what this redirect will do?  

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?website\.com/microsite$

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://subdomain.website.com/microsite/$1 [R=301,L]

    Thanks!

<?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
