[PHP-DB] Line of code should work...but doesn't
I've been going a little crazy here with a single line of code that
should work, but doesn't. It's probably has something to do with the
fact that I've been staring at pages of code for months on end.
In order to make user that nobody is screwing with the database while
the daily backups and maintainence are running, I decided to make a
little thing that would keep people from logging in, etc. Here's the line:
if (strftime(%H) == 03) { header( Location: maintainence.php ); }
In theory, if it's any time between 03:00:00 and 03:59:59 the user
should be redirected to the page maintainence.php, but when testing it
passes over this line without a blip. Any ideas?

RE: [PHP-DB] Line of code should work...but doesn't
this may work, but i hesitate, i've _never_ had to use exit to get my code
to excecute a redirect. and i'm heavily reliant on this function.
did aarons fix work for you? i think you're problem lies elsewhere. as
i've just mocked the same thing on my server, but using 10 instead of
03...i'm on EST and its excecutes perfectly.
don't mean to cause waves...just curious.

Very interesting...and extremely helpful.
It's amazing the major difference a little 'exit;' can make.
Many thanks for saving my sanity,

Aside from seeing that you've already solved this one, I'll also apologize
for obviously being wrong AND for the typo in the URI (should've been
www.yoursite.com/yourdir/maintenance.php).
Is it Friday yet? :)

I'll admit right up front that this is an educated guess, but
I think you
need to provide an absolute path for the location.
header(Location: http://yoursite/yourdir/maintenance.php;);
Quoted from the online docs:
Note: HTTP/1.1 requires an absolute URI as argument to
Location: including
the scheme, hostname and absolute path, but some clients
accept relative
URIs. You can usually use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and
dirname() to make an absolute URI from a relative one yourself.
I use header() for redirects all the time as well and have
always made a
habit of using a fully qualified URI just because the docs
said so. Never
tried any other way so I've never had any problems with it.
Hope this helps.

RE: [PHP-DB] Line of code should work...but doesn't
Hmm.. interesting.
I never use a full URI unless I am directing to a secure server and
things always work on my end.
Works either way I guess?
