URL redirection via PHP

Hey guys,

I have a site for example http://www.sitename.com/mylayouts.php

But have htaccess'ed it so it is http://www.sitename.com/mylayouts/page/1


Now, to authorize the user via a 3rd party API, they do not accept the htaccess version of the URL, it needs to be done via the original.

Upon authorization, which I have the code for already, I need some sort of code that will see if it is viewing

the mylayouts.php version of the URL and if so, redirect it too mylayouts/page/1

If that is possible. Thanks

 

I hope i understood what it is you are saying. but try something like this nothing fancy. place that into your mylayouts.php file after all needed code had finished loaded:

if(basename(__FILE__)=='mylayouts.php') header('location:mylayouts/page/1');

PHP:

 

Thanks mate, worked a treat!

 

Just for reference you can also redirect after a period of time using php

header("refresh:5;url=mylayouts/page/1");

PHP:

This example being 5 seconds..

The only problem with header redirects is that they must be called before any other output... you can get around this with php buffering by calling a function at the beginning of your page and at the end

ob_start();

// website code here

ob_end_flush();
