RE: [PHP] Branching to a page

I don't understand what this achieves? Tell me more... C -----Original Message----- From: Todd Cary [mailto:todd@aristesoftware.com] Sent: 15 September 2003 03:30 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Branching to a page Back in the earlier days of PHP, pages were not cached so I developed a method of "branching to a page" by opening a new socket. Since it has worked over the years in quite a variety of applications, I have not changed...but maybe I should. Are there any glaring deficiencies with doing this: // Verify the Session ID if ($session_id) { ... } else { bounce_post($server, $path, $url, "abort.php", ""); exit; } Where "bounce" is defined as function bounce_post($server, $path, $url, $page, $info) { $http = new http; $fp = $http->http_fpost($server, $path . $page, $info); if($fp) { print '<BASE HREF="' . $url . $page . '"><p>'; fpassthru($fp); }; } Todd -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php If you are not the intended recipient of this e-mail, please preserve the confidentiality of it and advise the sender immediately of any error in transmission.
