links within the header tag

[anfetienne]

i previously posted about a transfer code from one server to another but i have worked it out. this post is to to with the same code but different matter.

at the top of the code i have the header tag for when it's finished processing. The code below gets variables from a prevous page one of which is the return url after comepletion. the url with $return looks like this "http://theauctionwinne rs.com/resources/templateEdit.ph p?template=0&ID =987768090"

is there anyway i can use this variable with the header tag?

<?php
header ("Location: templateEdit.php");
session_start();
$imgFLDR = $_GET['rand'];
$returnURL = $_GET['return'];

echo $imgFLDR;
echo $returnURL;
?>

I don’t see, why you can’t.

but your posted code does not make any sense. if you use the Location header (after that the script is usually terminated), you’re redirecting to another page, so why do you have additional commands that probably don’t get executed?

i took out the header when i was testing to make sure the variables are set but forgot to delete the echos....

how would i add the variable to the header tag

header ("Location: $var");?

[Dormilich]

given that you define $var as desired, yes.

ok thanks ill test this

the header wouldn't work with a variable so i used javascript to redirect once all processes have been run instead.

still on the point of this api....does iframes cut out some of the functionality of certain things?

are you sure the variable is correct? (it works for me)

are you asking for PHP, HTML or Javascript issues?

[anfetienne]

im just asking generally.....d on't know how to class it since im using php to write a javascript code that automatically resizes an iframe and loads a page inside it

[Dormilich]

of course there are, frames ain’t despised for nothing.

[anfetienne]

lol i see that now....can i show you what i'm trying to deal with?

[Dormilich]

only if it can’t be avoided… *gg*

I can’t spot the problem you mentioned.
