Redirect Syntax Help

[DonP]

This is working fine as it is but how can a frame target be specified? I am new to PHP:

[tt]<?
function process_form() {
global $referer;
}
if ($referer >= '

http://127.0.0.1/')

{
$new_url = '

http://www.domain.com/';

header(&quot;Location: $new_url&quot;
} else {
?>

rest of the HTML is here

}[/tt]

The URLs shown are only for reference. Is it possible to target a particular frame and if so, how do I do it here? Don

The &quot;Location&quot; header cannot do that.

You would be better served to have PHP produce some JavaScript to do the same thing.

I suspected as much but have only a basic knowledge of JavaScript. How can I do it? Don

if ($referer == '

http://127.0.0.1/')

{ // valid refer so do this
echo &quot;<script Language=\&quot;JavaScript\&quot;>&quot;;
echo &quot;location.href= ('new_page.php');&quot;;
echo &quot;</script>&quot;;
}else{
// invalid refer so we do this instead
echo &quot;<script Language=\&quot;JavaScript\&quot;>&quot;;
echo &quot;location.href= ('bad_monkee_page.php');&quot;;
echo &quot;</script>&quot;;
}

Thanks! Can I invert the valid and invalid sections as I had it in my example? Invalid needs only load the page in which the script exists and does not need to go anywhere else.

But how to I apply a target frame here? Is there a JavaScript command for that - maybe something like (a guess here) &quot;location.target&quot; something like this?

[tt]if ($referer >= '

http://127.0.0.1/')

{ // invalid refer so do this
echo &quot;<script Language=\&quot;JavaScript\&quot;>&quot;;
echo &quot;location.href= ('bad_monkee_page.php');&quot;;
echo &quot;location.target= ('top');&quot;; // a guess
echo &quot;</script>&quot;;
}else{
// valid refer so we do this instead
?>

No idea ablut targets, best post that one in the java forum.

I only use the redirect as a last resort occasionally ***************************************

[KarveR]

oh and yes you can invert it ... the (more politically correct) code I believe is
if ($referer != '

http://127.0.0.1/')

{

which signifies not equal to (otherwise shown as <>

As you have it it reads &quot;greater than equal&quot; .
Hope this helps a little.

Thanks, actually I tried the != first but it crashes. The >= does not but I am at a loss to know why. I work a little with so many programming kanguages that I am getting confused! Don

Here is what ended up working with some additional help from the JavaScript forum, in case anyone here is interested in the outcome:

[tt]if ($referer >= '

http://127.0.0.1/')

{
echo &quot;<script Language=\&quot;JavaScript\&quot;>&quot;;
echo &quot;parent.frame_name.location.href='badlink.php/';&quot;;
echo &quot;</script>&quot;;
}else{
?>
