I am using this if statement to redirect a user if the values in a .txt document is 0 but if it is 1 I want nothing to happen however I'm having some issues with my code.
This is my code currently:
$setup = require('setup.txt');
if ($setup === "0") {
echo '<script type="text/javascript"> window.location = "setup.php" </script>';
}
The setup.txt document currently contains the value 0.
Use the header function if you have not already sent output to the browser.
$setup = file_get_contents('setup.txt');
if ($setup == "0") {
header('Location: /setup.php');
}
Since all PHP is executed before the output the site. Use this option first.
You can not use include()
/ require()
to transfer as a variable, like you have. Use file_get_contents()
to achieve the results.
I'd look here as to the proper usage of the require function.
if (file_get_contents('setup.txt') == "0") {
header('Location: /setup.php');
}
try this:
<?php
$setup = file_get_contents('setup.txt');
if (trim($setup) == "0") {
echo '<script type="text/javascript"> window.location = "setup.php" </script>';
}
?>
