php help pls

can u tell me how to put redirects in php
like if I have a site www.redirect.com

and if someone entered www.redirect.com/index.php?link=www.putfile.com

then i want the user to be redirected to www.getfile.com

 

you probably mean a redirection to www.putfile.com and not www.getfile.com?

if($_GET['link']){
header('Location: '.$_GET['link']):
}

PHP:

Something really basic, but the header shouldn't be sended already.

 

I meant getfile only

I know till you gave

for egs:-if its www.something.com/down/11231

then i need to www.something.com/start/11231

All I want is to know how to extract the 11231 from first link
then I can merge it with the second link

Any way thanks

 

modrewrite can do that for you

RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteRule ^(down)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)?$ http://www.yoursite.com/start/$1? [R=301,L]

 

solved it
thanks

 

Ow,ok
I didn't really understand what you wanted so I posted what I THOUGHT you wanted.
