Redirection script

Question

I am trying to write a php script for following...

if country = in or ca
redirect_to http://example.com
else redirect to http://example2.com

if $_GET['foo'] = 'bar' and country = in or ca
redirect to http://example3.com

else redirect to example.com
else redirect to example.com

and I have tried following...

$country = $_SESSION['countrycode'];

//if country india,canada
if($country == 'in' || $country == 'ca') redirect_to('http://example.com/');
else redirect_to('http://example2.com/');

//if querysting contains foo=bar and country india,canada
if($_GET['foo'] == 'bar'){
    if($country == 'in' || $country == 'ca') redirect_to('http://example3.com/');
    else redirect_to('http://example.com/');
}
else redirect_to('http://example.com/');

But its not working in case of query string foo = bar. Please suggest.

Are you sure it's set? echo $country and check the actual value. Also, is $_GET['foo'] set? — Paul Dessert

Your first conditional statement is redirecting the page away from this script. The second conditional statement is never read. Instead, you should refactor something like this:

if($country == 'in' || $country == 'ca'){
    if($_GET['foo'] === 'bar')
        header('Location: ' . $urlof3);
    else
        header('Location: '. $urlof2);
}

Cheers

Yes. You need to start with your most specific redirect conditions and follow with most general, otherwise more specific cases will never be reached.
