Hi all,
I am using a custom made script that im still making and i want to refresh to a page pulled from a mysql db but i want it to refresh a page that stored as a php variable.
As long as nothing has been sent to the browser (no HTML, not even any blank spaces before the first <?php) then you can use the header() function to send a user to a different page.
If you have the URL you want to send them to in a variable called $send_url, for example, then the code would be:
PHP Code:
<?php
//NO BLANK SPACES OR HTML BEFORE FIRST TAG!
//Code here...
header("Location: ".$send_url);//Send them to $send_url
?>
$user = "stevengi_tut";
$password = "cobra";
$location = "localhost";
//only edit location if you have been told to do so.
$db = "stevengi_script";
mysql_connect("$location", "$user", "$password");
mysql_select_db("$db");
// 1. Clean $_GET vars first
$tutorial = (int) $_GET['tutorial'];
$select = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tutorials WHERE id = '$tutorial' LIMIT 1");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($select, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
$url2 = $row['url2'];
}
?>
$time = "2";
$user = "stevengi_tut";
$password = "cobra";
$location = "localhost";
//only edit location if you have been told to do so.
$db = "stevengi_script";
mysql_connect("$location", "$user", "$password");
mysql_select_db("$db");
// 1. Clean $_GET vars first
$tutorial = (int) $_GET['tutorial'];
$select = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tutorials WHERE id = '$tutorial' LIMIT 1");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($select, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
$url2 = $row['url2'];
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; url=. $url .">';
}
?>
If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.
