header('Location: *variable*'); question

How do I redirect to a variable URL

[Karma]

Hi

Probably a really simple question/answer:

I'd like to redirect to a URL that is stored in a variable named $newurl, but I'm having problems doing so:

<?php

$newurl = "http://www.mydomain.tld/";
header('Location: $newurl');

?>

Anyone?

Variables are not parsed when they are inside single quotes. So, you can either use variable concatenation or use double quotes. Personally I prefer the first choice:

header('Location: '.$newurl); // variable concatenation
header("Location: $newurl"); // variables are parsed inside double quotes
