simple url variable Hello,
i am creating a simple website for a friend. There is a download page that waits 3 seconds bafore redirecting the user directly to the file. I dont want to make a redirect page for each file. so i figured i could put this in the url:
[HTML]download.php?dlurl=URL OF FILE[/HTML]
i can do that but how would i then put it into my page as a redirect? with the variable and all?
could someone please help me a bit here?
thanks

You can access the text as how Gary used it in his example. Its basically like accessing a variable you have declared only you got from the previous page.
Is this what u were looking for? or if you want it to appear as a link on your new page
print $_GET['dlurl'];

<a href="<?=$_GET['dlurl']?>" >DOWNLOAD FILE</a>
