if statement

[kevin wood]

i need to write a piece of code so that when the counter reaches 500 hundred the user is directed to a limit hit page. or if it is under 500 hundred it directs the user to the page they wanted to go to. i have used if statement to ech thing out before but in need it to either direct or redirect the user.

if anyone knows were there is a tutorial on this then please post it here.

im guessing that you are setting this count whenever the user does something that you are counting. in the beginning of the page couldnt you include a file that contains

if($count >= 500){
header("maxpage.php");
}

but then again i am not sure how or what you are counting.

Try putting this at the top of every page that you want the counter to increment. I think this is what you are asking.

<?php
session_start();
if(empty($_SESSION['counter'])){
//initialize the counter if empty
$_SESSION['counter']=1;
}
else{
//increment the counter if counter is set
$_SESSION['counter']++;
}
if($_SESSION['counter']>=500){
//redirect if counter >= 500
header('location:index.php');
}
?>
