This should be the last question with what I'm currently working on....

Loading the content the code works fine. Using if/elseif statements to find what the extention is. Maybe I'm thinking about it too much, but I wanted to put something that if by chance the url got changed it would redirect back to the home page.

This is the original code:

PHP Code:

<?php 

    if(file_exists("$content.html")){

     include ("$content.html");

    } elseif (file_exists("$content.php")){

     include ("$content.php");

    } elseif (file_exists("$content.txt")){

     include ("$content.txt");

    } elseif (file_exists("$content")){

     include ("$content");

    } else{

     echo "page cannot be found";

    }

 ?>

This sorta works. It will display the home page, but the url typed will show the bogus address. IE: www.mysite.com/index.php?content=bogusaddress will display the home page, but it's not the right address. I'd like to actually redirect them back to the home page.

PHP Code:

<?php 

        if(file_exists("$content.html")){ 

         include ("$content.html"); 

        } elseif (file_exists("$content.php")){ 

         include ("$content.php"); 

        } elseif (file_exists("$content.txt")){

     include ("$content.txt"); 

        } elseif (file_exists("$content")){ 

         include ("$content");

    } else{ include ("home.html"); } ?>

Can php redirect the url itself? I can't seem to find anything in PHP to do that. Or... will I need to echo a javascript redirector? at the "else"?

Thanks,

Here you go...this is how you work a redirect link for PHP. Basically, the same as HTML, except you need to work it with PHP. It's easy.

PHP Code:

<?php 

if(file_exists("$content.html"))

{ 

   include ("$content.html"); 

}

elseif (file_exists("$content.php"))

{ 

   include ("$content.php"); 

}

elseif (file_exists("$content.txt"))

{ 

   include ("$content.txt"); 

}

elseif (file_exists("$content"))

{ 

   include ("$content");

}

else

{

   echo "<meta http-equiv=refresh content=0;url=home.html>";

}

?>

Thanks that worked, just needed to modify slightly to the correct url.

Code:

   echo "<meta http-equiv=refresh content=0;url=./index.php?content=home>";

I'm wondering just one thing. Why have I been using a javascript to do redirection all these years?

Thanks again,
RJ
