note 74653 added to function.header

If you want to send a user onto a new page, using a redirect, then you can use the following. It takes care of a bug in Internet Explorer when directing from an HTTPS to an HTTP page, and also provides a link to any other user agents which do not understand the 'Location' header. <?php function goto($goto) { if (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on') { if (preg_match('/http:\/\//', $goto)) { header('Refresh: 0; URL=' . $goto); exit('<p><a href="' . htmlentities($goto) . '">Loading...</a></p>'); } } header('Location: ' . $goto); exit('<p>Goto <a href="' . htmlentities($goto) . '">next page</a></p>'); } ?> http://www.craigfrancis.co.uk/features/code/phpRedirect/ ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 82.32.88.140 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74653 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74653/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74653/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74653/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74653/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74653/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74653/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74653 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74653 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
