Hey,

I needed an outbound link system and i got it to work on my localhost (Defualt php, .htaccess, apache settings), But when i try it on my server it doesn't work.

MainPage
Redirect to Google

And the code:

PHP Code:


			
<html>
<head>
<title>Out Bound Linker</title>

</head>
<body>
<?php
    // Get there link number
    $id = $_GET['id'];
    ##################################################
    #                        Start LINKS                        #
    ##################################################
    $link[0] = 'http://decafproductions.com';
    $link[1] = 'http://decafproductions.com';
    $link[2] = 'http://google.com';
    $link[3] = 'http://yahoo.com';
    $link[4] = 'http://msn.com';
    $link[5] = 'http://aol.com';
    $link[6] = 'http://cbs.com';
    $link[7] = 'http://php.net';
    $link[8] = 'http://cnn.com';
    $link[9] = 'http://decafproductions.com/~adam';
    ##################################################
    #                        End LINKS                            #
    ##################################################
    if ($id) {
        $out = $link[$id];
        // Send them to the link they want.
        header("Location: $out");
    } else {
        // If no link then send them back to there last page.
        $back = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
        print "Error Getting Link, Go <a href='$back'>Back</a>.";
    }
?>
</body>
</html>

I'm thinking its something with the header("Location: $out"); command.

I'm stuck, thanks in advance.

Because of the way your php is set up (i.e. it's processed after html is written to the page), the headers have already been sent when you try to do that header("Location: xxx") redirect.

The easiest way to fix this would be to split it up into two files and have it post instead of get. The other way would be to check if the form has been submitted already before outputting any HTML. That way, if it has, you can redirect and no headers will have been sent yet.

Never mind the last comment - fixed it up for you. Here's the code that'll make it work. Notice that I don't send anything to output until I've decided whether or not to set the header.

You can test it out here:

http://www.snipiti.com/out_test.php - shows the error

http://www.snipiti.com/out_test.php?id=2 - works like a charm

Code:


<?php
if(isset($_GET['id'])) {

    // Get there link number
    $id = $_GET['id'];
    ##################################################
    #                        Start LINKS                        #
    ##################################################
    $link[0] = 'http://decafproductions.com';
    $link[1] = 'http://decafproductions.com';
    $link[2] = 'http://google.com';
    $link[3] = 'http://yahoo.com';
    $link[4] = 'http://msn.com';
    $link[5] = 'http://aol.com';
    $link[6] = 'http://cbs.com';
    $link[7] = 'http://php.net';
    $link[8] = 'http://cnn.com';
    $link[9] = 'http://decafproductions.com/~adam';
    ##################################################
    #                        End LINKS                            #
    ##################################################
    $out = $link[$id];
        // Send them to the link they want.
        header("Location: $out");
} else {
        // If no link then send them back to there last page.
        
    $back = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
    echo <<<HTMLPAGE
