[PHP] Redirection
Is there a way to take all the variables, no matter what their names and values are, from the parameters in a url and POST them to another URL so that they don't show up in the address bar? I've noticed a huge increase in my bounce rate since I added some tracking parameters to my urls, but I need the tracking parameters so I don't trust a client-side redirect.

No, what I had proposed was an alternate method to accomplish what
you said you wanted. But, it appears that my efforts and the demo did
not receive sufficient attention for you to understand what wass
being presented. Instead, you tell me that what I've shown you is bad
practice -- interesting.
First of all - I didn't ask the initial question ;-). Other than that, I
think our philosophies our basically the same. But when you say that you are
redirecting the user to another page, while you are actually including a php
script - that's not my understanding of redirecting.
You said that you wanted to remove login from the browser history,
which is screwing around with the user's browser and is clearly bad
practice.
Generally yes, removing a page from the browser's history would be
considered bad practice. However, we are not really talking about a page
here. What I understood from the initial question is as follows:
- http://www.site.com/ contains some login form, action of that form is
(for example) /login.php
- The user is sent to /login.php where the login is checked
- From there, the user either gets to a content page where it would
typically show welcome {user} or something, or back to the index page when
login failed
- As you see, login.php is not really a page but more of a 'pseudo page'
and therefore I cannot see any reason not to send a proper 303 header. see:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html
My method simply stops the user from visiting the same page more than
once during a session and leaves their browser data alone -- nothing
bad practice about that!
AFTER my demo runs, if you repeatedly refresh the page you are
directed to, then certainly that would become annoying. But that
wasn't the intent, nor part of the demo, which you clearly didn't
read and obviously didn't understand.
As far as bookmarking the page, but of course you can bookmark the
page! Did you even try?
Oh well, so much for trying to help someone understand sessions. As
my mother often said No good deed ever goes unpunished.
I've got another one, There is no selfless good deed.
If you had simply said, I don't understand, please explain; or asked
a question or two; or said thanks, but no thanks, I'm going to do it
another way, then that would have been fine. But to say that the demo
I prepared for you exhibited bad practice, especially when you are
absolutely friggen clueless as to what it is doing, is a bit too much
-- I'll be sure to pass over your post in the future.
I don't think there wasn't anybody who didn't appriciate your suggestion.
Only thing I was trying to do was chip in my two cents. Again, I wasn't the
one who originally asked the question and I certainly am not friggen
clueless. I just came to think about what the teacher at my Flex course
from a couple of months ago said about good and bad practice. He said
there is none. If your solution works good for you, that's your good
practice. And if mine doesn't work for you, it's your bad practice - while
it is still my good practice.
Something however I am trying to fight against, if you let me put it like
that - is people approaching scripts as if they are pages. When you are
including a script that is usually called as a page into another script
you should be very aware for any clashes between variables. Another reason
why it may be easier to just put in a Location: header and call your script
as it was originally intended.

'header (foo.php)'
1) The correct way to redirect using the header function is
header('Location: http://domain.com/foo.php'); Note the absolute URL.
2) Using header will definitely not display any output from the page.
You actually need to put in an exit; if you want to guarantee that PHP
won't send more data, and that the browser won't process it and show
it before doing the re-direct...
*MOST* of the time the Location: header gets processed so fast, you
don't see any following data, but if you pound on it enough, you'll
see that the browser *can* show the data after the re-direct, if it
feels particularly Orange at that moment in time.

thanks for the reply... i did get some output...
i also have a question as to why i couldn't get it to work when i
used
'header (foo.php)'
1) The correct way to redirect using the header function is
header('Location: http://domain.com/foo.php'); Note the absolute URL.
2) Using header will definitely not display any output from the page.
You actually need to put in an exit; if you want to guarantee that PHP
won't send more data, and that the browser won't process it and show
it before doing the re-direct...
*MOST* of the time the Location: header gets processed so fast, you
don't see any following data, but if you pound on it enough, you'll
see that the browser *can* show the data after the re-direct, if it
feels particularly Orange at that moment in time.

bud... if you try to use the 'sleep' function, you'll discover it doesn't effectively wait... ie, it's not waiting a specified period of time, prior to invoking the jscript location.href. remember, sleep is server side, jscript is client side. i haven't thoroughly tested this, but i imagine that this acts in a similar manner to the 'header' function as well... -Original Message- From: Budi Setiawan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 9:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] php redirection.. basically: cat.php -echo test contentbr -echo more test contentbr //redirect user echo script location.href='foo.php'; /script ; Hi , im a new too.. but you can try with this to delay your script running for some seconds : echo test contentbr echo more test contentbr // you can add : sleep(2); // this will cause your script delayed for 2 seconds //redirect user echo script location.href='foo.php'; /script ; // hhaha.. // im just trying to help... // -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Are dynamic meta tags depreciated?
What exactly do you have in mind when you mention dynamic meta tags?
Do you just mean using a meta refresh tag?
meta http-equiv=refresh content=2;url=http://www.example.com;
I believe that would be the best solution to Bruce's problem.
This meta tag can be used on the page with the information to be shown

seconds. In the above example, redirection to www.example.com will
happen after 2 seconds.

Yes I meant just using a meta refresh tag with php variables to make it more
flexible:
echo 'meta http-equiv=refresh content=' . $time . ';url=' . $url . '';
I modify meta title/content this way aswell.
meta http-equiv=refresh content=2;url=http://www.example.com;

RE: [PHP] php redirection..
Just a quick question regarding this issue.
Considering bruce wants to be able to display the data and then change
location after a given time, and as stut said you can't do this with a
header() as it redirects before output, I would have imagined a dynamic meta
tag in the header with a time variable and a location variable.
But then I wonder what affect this has regards to html standards?
Are dynamic meta tags depreciated?
Regards,
Tim

Please don't reply to me directly, always include the mailing list.
thanks for the reply... i did get some output...
i also have a question as to why i couldn't get it to work when i used
'header (foo.php)'
1) The correct way to redirect using the header function is
header('Location: http://domain.com/foo.php'); Note the absolute URL.
2) Using header will definitely not display any output from the page.
i did a 'ob_end_flush()' at the start, followed by a 'header()' at the
end,
but the header didn't seem to function as i though it should.
I suggest you read about the header function in the manual
(http://php.net/header) - you clearly don't have any idea what it does.
given that the ultimate information that i'm going to want to display
will
be dynamic. some times it might be 5 lines, others 100, others 50...
i had hoped that i could somehow display the content, wait a few
seconds,
and then do an auto redirect...
Like I said in my first reply, Google for the Javascript function
settimeout - that's what you need.
any thoughts/comments...
I have lots of comments. Thoughts are less common but they do
occasionally happen.

Anyhoo, I don't get your confusion. The browser will run the script as
it loads it from your site. Ergo, it redirects before it displays what
you have output. I suggest you Google for examples of the settimeout
Javscript function - that's what you need to delay the redirect.

One way to do it pretty securely without having to actually login to the remote database is to setup something like this: Remote database server, on this machine setup a simple webpage which grabs username and password from the URL. The username can be in plaintext (or if circumstances dictate and/or you're paranoid can be *encrypted*). The password is hashed (md5/sha, whatever) WITH a secret key. You can then verify whether username/password is correct and return an appropriate response. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general -- New Year Resolution: Ignore top posted posts -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hidden POST variables are *NOT* secure at all. Totally useless. If you control both servers, you can securely transmit the data you need from one to the other using http://php.net/curl Given the amount of trouble an open forum can cause these days, I would say get a money deposit before you issue a game login, and then use cURL to get the user's info with a DIFFERENT username/password over to the community site. Use the different username/password because the forum code has already proven itself susceptible to a lot of security issues. Make sure you never refund a deposit to somebody who can still cause trouble -- IE, their login must be invalid before the deposit goes back. You *CAN* refund to those users who prove themselves trustworthy over time, on a selective basis. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Redirection after login with security
Synopsis: I am writing a management system for a MSSql database driven game, and I've run into an issue. The community site is located on a remote webserver, to protect the actual server from any possible vulnerabilities in the community application/forum application (as we all have seen the recent issues with phpBB and various CMS systems). The management system grants the ability to access and modify various properties of your in-game account. In an attempt to provide the best way to limit the # of accounts per person, I assumed that this could be accomplished by placing a dummy value only used by the site itself that is the username/encoded password for them on the community, and test if... when searched for in the database, a result set of x is discovered, then they are unable to create another account. Problem: I would like to possibly utilize a login system (created on the remote server), that would then check their username and password against the CMS database located there, then redirect with that information (encrypted of course), to the local site where the information gets stored in a session. Then when they go to create a new account, it stores the extra verfied information into the database. However, the issue at hand here is, I'm not sure how secure it would be if I were to say, create a secure login form, verify the data... and then create another pseudo form that directs the person to the local-based site using hidden post variables (this is my original thought on the subject). Is there another way I could go about doing this (ie, a way that I could identify a user that is almost assuredly never going to change) or is there a more secure way? Or, am I on the right track?

[PHP] redirection, same host, two domains
Okay, here is my problem. I had a site hosted on a sub domain
(mysite.domain.com) , now I registered my own domain, mysite.com . The
thing is mysite.com is still hosted on mysite.domain.com. What i want to
do is : If people type in their browsers mysite.domain.com redirect to
mysite.com and if they type mysite.com to display the page.
I'm guessing it should be something like this : if ( refferer =
mysite.domain.com ) { redirect to mysite.com } else { my html code }
P.S: I need this because I don't want google to think it's a duplicate
site.
Thank you,

[PHP] Redirection to a named frame
I was only able to find one reference to targeting a named frame on a
redirection, in the MySQL Cookbook by O'Reilly. According to the book,
this should work:
header('Window-target: main');
header('Location: http://localhost/phase1/report.php');
But, alas, it seems to only load up the current frame (which is not main).
I also tried:
header('Window-target: _top');
header('Location: http://localhost/phase1/report.php');
to see if I could get it to wipe out the frameset and get back to the full
window, but it still loaded up in the current frame.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,

I'm not sure if this is going to help or not.. Since I understand

the user comes from a.php, b.php or z.php, if they're not authenticated on

login.php. RIGHT???
Here's my 2 cents. (part of code I'm working on)
=login.php===
if ( check_if_authenticated() ) --- I have this fucntion located at the

Thanks to all, I got it working - sort of. It works perfectly on

PHP, Apache and MySQL on both. I have asked this before and have been
told they are interchangeable, but more times than not I have to make a
bunch of changes to get it to work on Linux - and this is just another

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to redirect a user back to a page but
not having much luck.
For example: I click on a menu item on my site which goes to a.php.
This file includes another file that determines if they are logged in
or not. If not, they are sent to login.php using header(:Location:
). How would I automatically redirect them back to a.php after
they have logged in successfully. I have tried using HTTP_REFERRER,
but it isn't redirecting.
You can use the HTTP_REFERRER, but i wouldn't depend on it, it isn't a
required header for the client.
what you prolbably should do is when the arn't logged int, you can send
them to something like:
header('location: login.php?next=a.php');
Then on your login form add a hidden variable:
input type=hidden name=next value=?echo $_GET['next']?
Finally when the user submits this form, and the user logs in
successfully you know that you need to redirect them to the a.php.

RE: [PHP] Redirection Question
Thanks to all, I got it working - sort of. It works perfectly on Windows, but will not work on Linux. I am using the same versions of PHP, Apache and MySQL on both. I have asked this before and have been told they are interchangeable, but more times than not I have to make a bunch of changes to get it to work on Linux - and this is just another example. I use Windows to do all the coding and design as it has all the tools. Linux is just a bare bones box with no gui or tools. The php.ini and httpd.conf are the same on both platforms (other than what is needed for the specific platform). This makes it a real pain. Oh well, back to my debugging. -Original Message- From: Curt Zirzow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July 22, 2003 7:04 PM To: PHP Subject: Re: [PHP] Redirection Question * Thus wrote Beauford.2005 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Maybe I didn't explain enough.

Re: [PHP] Redirection Question
Hello there,
I had the same problem, and to solve it I put the following code in my
check login include file:
// code to detect no login
session_start();
session_register('target');
$_SESSION['target'] = http://; . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] .
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
header(Location: . $loginpage);
This stores the user's original destination into a session variable. I
then just have the login page check to see if target is set:
// code to authenticate login
session_start()
if (!empty($_SESSION['target'])){
$target = 'Location: ' . $_SESSION['target'];
session_unregister('target');
header($target);
} // if
I hope this helps,
Grant

[PHP] Redirection in PHP ? (newbie)
Hi, this might be a trivial question but I could not find any docs on that on php.net. I am develloping the admin side of a dynamic web site (php/mysql). The mechanic is nothing special: a form is submitted and sends the data to the php page/script that actually does the work of feeding the db. I noticed that hitting back on the browser make the feeding scripts run again, and double the entries in the db. Of course, that is what the scripts are supposed to do :-). To avoid spamming my db I would like to implement a simple redirection function, that would redirect the user to the main admin page once the feeding script has successfully executed and would reduce chances of double entries. Is there a simple way to achieve that ? thanks, Nicolas. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there a simple way to achieve that ? header(Location: index.php) should do the trick. However, I'd recommend something more robust if avoiding duplicates is a big deal. For example, if you're using sessions, you might have your addition script set a confirmation variable using uniqid() and changing it after updating the DB; if confirmation variable passed in the form submission doesn't match the session variable, you can redirect them to the Were you really sure? page. Alternately, depending on your data structure it might be easier to simply insert a dummy record first and then use UPDATEs from that point forward. (The unique confirmation variable approach is also a good idea for security purposes - otherwise if someone can guess the structure of your application, they could do something funny like send an HTML email with a link to /products/delete.php?ID=someIDConfirmed=yes to an admin, which would go directly through without confirmation if they were logged in at the time.) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] redirection to another page function
One thing that doesn't seem to have been considered is the use of the refresh meta tag. Whilst it depends on whether or not the browser is archaic (and let's face it, most people nowadays seem to be running at least version 4 of either IE or Netscape), it's something that can't be turned off (at least to my knowledge, I could be wrong) and workarounds can be supplied for instances when the browser doesn't accept the tag. This doesn't hinder programming too much, as you don't have to worry about sending output after headers, nor whether or not the browser has javascript enabled. Personally, I prefer to use the header() function, and it's ages since I've used this meta tag, though it's worth keeping in mind that old techniques can still be useful ;) META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT=1;url=page.php James. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [PHP] redirection to another page function
Is there any PHP native function to redirect to another page or URL?
No, because you can only redirect a browser to another page using the
appropriate HTTP command (it is a header) or JavaScript.
I would like that once the user clicks on home.php4 and a few
verifications are done, he/she would be redirected to home.html.
You can issue a HTTP redirection command to the web browser by using
PHP's Header() function. You'll want to use this kind of code:
?
Header("Location:
http://this.is.the.destination.com/directory/file.php");
?

I never had any trouble using header() to redirect, but wouldn't something
like this work even better (without worring about previous outputs)??
function redirect($dest)
{
?
script language="JavaScript"
parent.location.href='?=$dest?';
/script
?
}
it would work wouldn't it?

In Netscape:
Menu Edit Preferences Advanced
[ ] Enable Javascript
^
Not ticked
Oops. I just broke that redirection. :)
Yeah... I know that... but, c'mon... a browser that doesn't support
Javascript can't surf trough at least 30% of all websites... it's the
absolute minority. Netscape itself is a minority.

That's not the point. You should be writing the code such that you shouldn't need to make this kind of argument, at least for a simple HTTP-related issue anyway. JavaScript syntax / functionality perhaps, HTTP commands no. Why do with JavaScript what you can do without?

Yeah... I know what you and Jason mean.
I justed pointed out that it could work nicely... and I just tought of
that... I user header("location: ... ") on all my scripts and struggle to
put them before any output (that's not easy)...
I work on a e-commerce website (coding in ASP, but what can I do?) with
lots of JavaScript calls that in some cases are the heart of the operation,
and we never had any trouble or complaints with it.
I know that, the best way is to get your script running anywhere regardless
of what browser or OS people use, but is important too to use as much of
the technology as you can. Like HTML capable clients... in a recent pass,
that was a nightmare cuz half the people used the most outdated email
clients, but nowadays, almost every spam or corporate email I get, is HTML,
people who don't have HTML capable clients, hurry to get them. I won't even
get started with "noframesYour browser isn't frames capable/noframes",
hehe. Javascipt is almost a standard and it is a great help in many cases
where server-side simply won't do the job. I don't know... I'm just
thinking here... maybe its all BS! :)

While I do utilise some javascript niceties in some of my work, I usually
only do it either when a) its an internal sytsem here at work and I know
everyone has the same system/software/setup or b) where its only an
enhancement and it wont affect the usability of the system if its not
there. Ill always try and use PHP and server side solutions before
resorting to client side solutions
that's a better way to think about it...
Altough... I still think that URL redirection should be something easier to
do... as it is something very usefull and very basic, if u think in the
concepts of WWW and surfing... going from one page to another is almost a
primitive... u know where I'm getting at?

Re: [PHP] redirection to another page function
use the javascript function, but also use as backup plan such as a link at
the bottom or even code at the top like this:
///
if (conditionals == true) {
header(location:home.html);
}
//
that way it will get through for most all browsers if not all browsers

Use the Header call,for more info see www.php.net and search for Header()
Example
header ("Location: Http://www.domain.com/owner/index.php");
