I am having a problem with php header redirect not working on safari
if (!isset($lang))
{
header('Location: http://domain.com/en/home');
}
I have read that this could be done with JS fairly simple, but no idea how to do it with the condition if $lang is set.
Should, I just execute the js within the "php if", or there is a better/clever way to do it.
Thanks.
First off, you should stop the php execution if you set a redirect header:
if (!isset($lang))
{
header('Location: http://domain.com/en/home');
exit;
}
Note: for this to work properly, you need to set this header before any other and before setting any doctype. Also, the exit prevents anything else from being sent to the broswer (content, other headers, etc). Mixing headers can result in unwanted behavior.
Secondly, you can do:
if (!isset($lang))
{
?>
<script>
window.location = "http://domain.com/en/home";
</script>
<?php
}
Using Java Script
if (!isset($lang))
{
?>
<script>
location.href = "http://domain.com/en/home";
</script>
<?php
}
You can try with ob_start()
ob_start()//Define at the top of the php page.
if (!isset($lang))
{
header('Location: http://domain.com/en/home');
exit;
}
You can use echo to print HTML tag <script> and put your JavaScript code inside this tag.
if (!isset($lang)){
echo "
<script>
window.location = "http://domain.com/en/home";
</script>
";
}
