Anyone correct me on this one but wouldn't you use:

<?php
header(\"Location: $_GET['url']\");
?>

<?php
header(\"Location: $url\");
?>

Make sure you have a space in between Location: and the url.

Umm just to revive this thread again,

In request.php I have the following:

<?php
header(\"Location:$_REQUEST['url']\");
?>

And in index.php I have this line of coding :

<?php
<p class=\"text\">The new site can be found here: <a href=\"request.php?url=http://impactdesignz.webpros.co.nz/nethelp\" class=\"link\">Here</a></p>
?>

What have I done wrong? It comes up with this error when the link is clicked on :

Quote:
Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in c:\phpdev\www\public\nethelp\request.php on line 2

Robby,

Edit your index.php and on the first line type...

<?php
 header("Location: <a href="http://www.newdomain.com/directory/"" title="http://www.newdomain.com/directory/"">http://www.newdomain.com/directory/"</a>); 
?>

Change the URL in blue to the URL of your choice.

what does the error say
and what version of PHP are you using?

Okay, I tried the code and I get something called a "parse error." And I am not sure if you all may know exactly what I am asking:

Let's say a visitor goes to webquad.com When they reach that page, I want it to immediately forward or redirect them to, as an example, Microsft.com How do I go about doing this properly? If your coding is right, sorry, but I am getting an error still...and a simple link on the page...?

Thanks for the replies!
Robby

Just for a bit of variety!

In ColdFusion:

<cflocation="www.whateverurl.com">

Always more than one way!

o ok i think i get it now :S

I guess it's possible to answer a question too clearly! lol!

Create a file called request.php. That file should only have this in it:

<?php
header(\"Location: $_REQUEST[url]\");
?>

Then, on the pages where you want to redirect people to another url from your page, put:

microsoft

instead of:

microsoft

Why?

Well, in this case, you could add more options to request.php to track hits to that link, and then you could display on your page how many times someone clicked from your page to microsoft.

However, I think that KnightRobby was asking a slightly different question?

If the page the people land on isn't the one you want them to stay on, you can use a meta refresh of 0 seconds (but there is a perceptile delay), or you can put, on the page you don't want them to stay on, the php snip redirecting them to the correct page.

I believe that someone just asked this question here in this forum to display two different headers depending on what site someone came from.

Is that accurate KnightRobby?

Then you simply link to the file... request.php?url=http://www.microsoft.com/ which will send the user to M$ website, or request.php?url=http://www.google.com/ which will send the user to google. [/B]

...what?
