how do i say in php

If header = hewparg then go to test
??
Any one help?

what is header? in php, you can set header values, .. but in the case are you just usign header as a variable?

i.e.

if ($header == 'hewpart') {
  // go test something
}

header as in

PHP Code:


header('location: index.php'); 


so like

PHP Code:


if(header == '') {

header('location: index.php?homepage');

};

well you know how to set the header, so your problem is you need to get the header info.

check out this function: PHP: headers_list - Manual

headers_list is pretty buggy in some PHP versions.

Which specific header are you looking for?
Because, most of them have easy access thru $_SERVER['HTTP_*'] (* is wildcard)

I want to be able to locate my header already as URL and be able to do something like

PHP Code:

if(header_location == 'index.php')
  {
      header('location: index.php?homepage');
      exit();
  } 


But i cant get a script which will read the URL already inplace

[sde]

you don't need to access the header for that, .. just use this

PHP Code:

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] == 'index.php') {
  header('location: index.php?homepage');
  exit();
} 


why are you using just 'homepage' after the '?' .. usually it would be a key/value pair .. i.e. index.php?page=homepage.

and in that case, since both scripts are index.php, then i would just add something like this at the top of index.

PHP Code:

if (!$_GET['page']) {
  $_GET['page'] == 'homepage';
} 


you don't need to really bother with a redirect.

Thank you, And the reason it is only

PHP Code:

index.php?homepage 


is because i am using a php script which looks for homepage in the url like a server infomation get.

PHP Code:

if (isset($_GET['homepage']))
        {
            echo '<span class="header1">Welcome to Hewparg</span>';
            exit();
        };
