Open a new window based on IP

[techexpressinc]

I am trying to open a new window based on whether the person is in the office or not.

I put this in the body of html and nothing happen?
Any ideas from anyone on making it work?
Thanks
Russ


<?php

if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']=='63.131.12.170') {
header('Location:

http://www.scaninc.org/video/videoindexgoodip.htm');

} else {
header('Location:

http://www.scaninc.org/video/videoindexbadip.htm');

}

exit;

?>

Hi

open a new window

You will get no new window with that code. In thread216-1554134 , where I posted that code, no window opening was mentioned.

I put this in the body of html and nothing happen?

Of course. As I mentioned, that is PHP code, so in the [tt]body[/tt] of a HTML document will do nothing. Even more, neither in a PHP script which generates a HTML document will not work if you put it in the [tt]body[/tt]. The [tt]header()[/tt] function must be called before the content is output.

I do not regularly deal with this stuff and need pointers.
I now vaguely remember some the processes.

The PHP goes to hosting site in the cgi-bin directory with the suffix phpcode.pl.

The the HTML page hyper links to it

http://www.website.com/phpcode.pl

to be redirected.

Does this sound like the way it works?

Neither I. But anyway, there are no pointers in PHP. ( It has references, which are somehow similar, but not the same. )

The PHP goes to hosting site in the cgi-bin directory with the suffix phpcode.pl.

Usually PHP scripts are not put in the cgi-bin/ directory. They can be anywhere. Usually PHP scripts have .php extension. Perl used to have .pl.

Growl - I am not there yet!

I put the code with the directory: cgi-bin
and then put this in the URL:

http://www.techexpressinc.com/ipfliper.pl

I get "Page Not Found?? why.."

if I put in the complete URL

http://www.techexpressinc.com/cgi-bin/ipfliper.pl

I get HTTP Error 500 - Internal server error.

So, I am almost there Yippie.. I just need a little push/help.
Thx

Hi

Why not put that script with the file name ipfliper.php into your web server's document root directory, then access it with the URL :

http://techexpressinc.com/ipfliper.php

?

Good point. See I got confused, I did install some Pearl code before. I did a rename back to filename.php.


I thought that cgi-bin would be a good place to "hide" the code.

I moved to htdoc folder and it works better there.

The example links appear to be to a real site. I'm hoping this exercise was simply for direction and not security since the whole world knows about these pages now.

If this IP check is for security, you should rename your targeted HTML files to something not easily guessed or modified (replacing 'bad' with 'good'). You can also employ a check on the targeted HTML files (as PHP files) to continue the verification of IP address.
