    I dont get this code to work ... Anybody knows what I am doing wrong?

    include("connect.php");
    
    $query =mysql_query("SELECT * FROM engines");
    $numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);
    
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)
    {
    $name[$i]=$row['name'];
    $url[$i]=$row['url'];
    $searchurl[$i]=$row['searchurl'];
    $keyword[$i]=$row['keyword'];
    $i++;
    }
    
    function wordsExist(&$string, $words) {
        foreach($words as &$word) {
            if(stripos($string, $word) !== false) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
    
    if (wordsExist($search, array($keyword[$id])))
    {
    
    	$redir = "http://wedidit.com";
    	}
    PHP:
    when I use a actual word instead of a string in the following code it works .. (changed $keyword[$id] to 'keyword')

    if (wordsExist($search, array('keyword')))
    {
    
    	$redir = "http://wedidit.com"; 
    	}
    PHP:
    What I am trying to do is to make it trigger a certian redirect when it finds a certain word from the database.

    Thanks in advance :)

    I added a new function called wordExist where I deleted the following:

    foreach($words as &$word) {
    PHP:
    That got rid of :

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/haukaas/public_html/new/search.php on line 25
    PHP:
    I also did as you said and places the header at the very top of the script. Then it just took me to a blank page .. So then I placed the header under

    ini_set("display_errors", true);
    error_reporting(-1);
    PHP:
    and it gave me the following:

    Notice: Undefined variable: redir in /home/haukaas/public_html/new/search.php on line 10
    
    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/haukaas/public_html/new/search.php:10) in /home/haukaas/public_html/new/search.php on line 10

    Thanks, I tried that code and all the error messages is now gone :)

    The problem is that it wont redirect to wedidit.com when it finds a keyword in the database via the string $keyword...

    Confusing!

    <?php
    error_reporting(E_ALL);
      require_once 'connect.php';
     
      $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM engines");
      $numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);
     
      $i = 0;
      while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
          $name[$i] = $row['name'];
          $url[$i] = $row['url'];
          $searchurl[$i] = $row['searchurl'];
          $keyword[$i] = $row['keyword'];
          $i++;
      }
     
      function wordsExist($string, $words)
      {
          foreach ($words as $word) {

                  return true;
              }
          }
          return false;
      }
      
      //added some debugging code...
      if (!is_array($keyword)) trigger_error('$keyword is not an array!', E_USER_ERROR);
      
      //added this as i did'nt see it defined...
      $search = "wedidit";
    
      if (wordsExist($search, $keyword)) {
          $redir = "http://wedidit.com";

    try to bypass the header,
    add add beginning of your code :
    <? ob_start(); ?>

    and the end of your code:
    <? ob_flush(); ?>

    Let me know if you've tried it..

    Good luck :)
