index.php

Posted: Sat Nov 26, 2005 3:27 pm

I didn't know if this was the place to ask this question but here it is.

What I want to do change my index.php file to do the same thing as a index.html to redirect ppl to my new site. Some folks apparently are using /index.php as part of their shortcut and when they call it an sql error message comes up.

I did set up [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
to redirect to new site. But, I want to do the same thing with my index.php file for those who do not to just try using the URL without the /index.php

I don't know php so any help would be appreciated.

Add these 2 lines right after your <? in index.php

header("Location: [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]");
die();

Awesome, Raven. That works. But, how do I delay the redirect like you do in html with this example:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="10; URL=http://clanfga.com/index.php">

What I want to do is display the new url and a pic/link and allow users time to write it down before redirecting them.

Try this:

header("Refresh: 10; [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]");

I want to add a picture that is linked to a url in case they don't want to wait 10 seconds but I can't figure it out. This is what I tried:

Code:

$content .= "<center><a href=\"http://www.clanfga.com/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"images/fgabutton.jpg\" title=\"Clan FGA\"</a></center><br>";

but it doesn't work. I copied this from a block I use on my website. It works on the block but won't in index.php

EDIT:

Nevermind, I figured it out.

Code:

echo "<center><a href=\"http://www.clanfga.com/\" 





target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://www.clanfga.com/images/fgabutton.gif\" title=\"Clan FGA\"</a></center>";

THANKS AGAIN.
