php - URLs Redirect To Another Page before redirecting the the URL

John's suggestion sounds like a good one.

As for the code, to redirect in PHP, use:

header('Location: http://www.example.com/');

http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

To get the parameter from the URL, you can use PHP's $_GET function:

$url = $_GET['url'];

If your URL is http://www.example.com/?url=google.com, then you will be able to get the "google.com" using the above code.

http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.get.php

To put it together, try:

$url = $_GET['url'];
header('Location: $url');

Redirect him to "http://MyPageWithAdverts.company.com?redirectUrl=enteredUrl". Let the adverts page sleep for five seconds, then redirect to it's "redirectUrl" parameter.

First you should be aware that the user inputs (like user input for URL) should be in a form.

You can redirect the user using the header function. Example:

header('Location: http://mydomain.com/lalala/index.php');

You can also put the URL on a variable like:

$url = 'http://mydomain.com/lalala/index.php';

Then,

header("Location: '".$url."'");

That's it for redirection. For a certain pause of 5 seconds, you can use the sleep function and the like or you can use javascript. For php, here is the sleep function you need:

sleep(5); // where 5 is the number of seconds.

When they first come in to, say, http://example.com/somepage, show them the ads page and include a refreshing <meta> tag like this:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://example.com/somepage?ads=0">

That should send them to http://example.com/somepage?ads=0 after five seconds. You can use a simple ads=0 CGI parameter to tell the server not show the ads or you can do similar things with a flag in a cookie. When /somepage gets hit without the cookie or without ?ads=0 then show them the ads, if the cookie is set or ?ads=0 is there then show them the real stuff.

You can also do it in JavaScript by setting a timer and redirecting by assigning to window.location.

This sort of thing can be defeated pretty easily but it should be sufficient for the casual browser.

fix this code for redirect to another URL

<?php
  $url = $_GET['url'];  //Get URL
  if($url==""){         // Check URL isn't empty
    echo("Not URL");
  }else{
    echo("Goto: ".$url);
    header('Location: '.$url); // goto URL
  }
  sleep(5); // where 5 is the number of seconds.
?>
