Get URL

[Bob Bedford]

I use PHP to "include" dinamically some pages. I don't want to use frames.
Now, my default.php (that acts like a frame) loads a leftmenu.php and a
rightform.php.

What I want to do in my rightform.php, is to detect when it's name is in the
URL (like www.mysite.com/rightform.php) If it's the case, I want to redirect
to the index.php page of the site. Since the URL is on the client side, I
think this should be done in javascript. (also the server receives the URL,
so it may be possible to do server side tests), and once I detect the URL
names contains the filename that should not be in the URL, redirect to
index.php.

How to do so ?

Vital functioning of a site is always best done on the server if at all
possible.
Use PHP and check the server variable request_uri and redirect accordingly.

This is best done by the PHP files themselves. Each PHP file can determine the
_SERVER["REQUEST_UR I"], _SERVER["SCRIPT_NAM E"], _SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATE D"] or
_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] and take the appropriate action based on the value.

For example, in rightform.php, you might have:

<?php
if (strpos(_SERVER["REQUEST_UR I"], "rightform.php" ) !== 0) {
header("locatio n:index.php");
}
?>

Now rightform.php can detect if it was the loaded URI and redirect to index.php
all by itself. I threw this together pretty quick, it may not work correctly as
written.

1. In PHP, variable declarations and references must be
prefixed with "$".

2. You want to avoid double-quoted strings where no expansion
is required.

3. The $_* superglobals are only available from PHP 4.1 on.

<?php
/**
* Retrieves the value of an element of an associative array.
*
* This is designed for $_GET and other HTTP variables but
* also works for common associative arrays.
*
* @author
* Copyright (C) 2004 Thomas Lahn &lt;php@Pointed Ears.de&gt;
* @param string
* Key identifier. The default is the empty string.
* @param string
* Array identifier. The default is '_GET'. If there is
* no such array, the identifier is prefixed with 'HTTP'
* and suffixed with '_VARS' (to support the deprecated
* HTTP_GET_VARS etc. arrays as of PHP &lt; 4.1). If
* there is still no array with that identifier, return
* the empty string.
* @return
* The value of the element of that array with that key or
* the empty string if there is no such element or array.
*/
function getVars($key = '', $array = '_GET')
{
global ${$array};
global ${'HTTP'.$array .'_VARS'};

return (isset(${$array }) && isset(${$array}[$key])
? ${$array}[$key]
: (isset(${'HTTP' .$array.'_VARS' })
&& isset(${'HTTP'. $array.'_VARS'}[$key]))
? ${'HTTP'.$array .'_VARS'}[$key]
: '');
}

if (strpos(getVars ('REQUEST_URI', '_SERVER'), 'rightform.php' ) !== 0)
{
header('locatio n:index.php');
}
?>

But I would rather use

<?php
...

if (preg_match(
"'/?rightform.php([?#]|$)'",
getVars('REQUES T_URI', '_SERVER'))
{
header('Locatio n: index.php');
}
?>

or the RedirectMatch directive of the Apache HTTP Server.

Yes, indeed.
