I had a redirect script in made using ASP, it worked this way:
Links were of the format: redir.asp?url=http://www.website.com, and the redir.asp itself had the following code:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Redirect</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="*,52" border="0">
<frame src="<%=Request("url")%>" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
scrolling="auto" noresize>
<frame src="bottom.asp" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
scrolling="no" noresize>
</frameset>
</html>


Can anyone write me it's translation to PHP and/or suggest me how to improve this script? (Maybe somehow to do it without using frames? With SSI/DHTML?)

Boris,

Not much changes in switching over to PHP. Assuming you are accessing the page redir.php?url=http://www.website.com, then the code for the redir.php is as follows:


<html>
<head>
<title>Redirect</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="*,52" border="0">
<frame src="<?=$url?>" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
scrolling="auto" noresize>
<frame src="###whatever###" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
scrolling="no" noresize>
</frameset>
</html>

Of course, you need to replace the bottom frame source URL with an actual URL.

Other than that, it's quite straitforward.

Of course, if you don't want frames at all you can try this:


<?php

header("Location: " . $url);

?>

Some older versions of PHP may require you to type the entire variable name, too, so $_GET['url'] would be $HTTP_GET_VARS['url']. It is also better to use the longer method for backwards compatibility in the event you want to use the script on another server with software that is less up-to-date.
