PHP Redirect, how to?

Question

For some reason one magento url is not working fine on my website. see here: Integrity constraint violation: 1052 Column 'position' in order clause is ambiguous

So, I decided that I could do a redirect for this failing url: I tried with apache but it doesnt work see here: Apache simple redirect from one page to a second one

They suggested to do it with php

can someone pls explain me how to do this with php?

something like

if url = 'myfaliingurl' then
  redirect to new url

thats it

this is what I tried in apache

Redirect 301 http://www.theprinterdepo.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?cat=100&q=1022&x=0&y=0 http://www.theprinterdepo.com/catalogsearch/advanced/result/?name=1022&sku=&price%5Bfrom%5D=&price%5Bto%5D=&free_shipping=&category=100

Update 1:

Its not working, I put this on index.php at the end.

if($url == 'http://www.theprinterdepo.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?cat=100&q=1022&x=0&y=0')
  {
          header('location:http://www.theprinterdepo.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?cat=100&q=1022&x=0&y=0 http://www.theprinterdepo.com/catalogsearch/advanced/result/?name=1022&sku=&price%5Bfrom%5D=&price%5Bto%5D=&free_shipping=&category=100');
          exit();
  }
else
{
Mage::run('printerdepo','website');
}

If you just want to use PHP you can use header()

header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */

so:

if (/*whatever you're checking*/){
    header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */
    exit();
}

Using this code you get

 <?php
  if($url == 'myfaliingurl')
  {
          header('location:http://www.theprinterdepo.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?cat=100&q=1022&x=0&y=0 http://www.theprinterdepo.com/catalogsearch/advanced/result/?name=1022&sku=&price%5Bfrom%5D=&price%5Bto%5D=&free_shipping=&category=100');
  }
  else{
          header('location:otherposition');
  }
  ?>

Luis Valencia Over a year ago

shold I also put exit() as other said?

Divyesh Over a year ago

yeah, anywhere you want because it's base on condition!

Divyesh Over a year ago

there are no required exit() because whenever redirect then after header code that will never execute!!!

Of course you need exit(). The code will continue executing, even though the header was sent. The fact that you send the header has nothing to do with the rest of the script.

In PHP you can use the header() function to redirect a request:

header('Location: http://www.example.com/');

I dont know php syntax, please elaborate the answer more.

diggersworld Over a year ago

The manual I linked to explains it perfectly. You just need to include that line wherever/whenever you want it to redirect.

With PHP is like this:

<?php
header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
// if you get a header error, which is really frequent, try with javascript like this:
echo '<script type="text/javascript">window.location ="http://www.example.com";</script>';
?>

What you need is written like this: Remember not to output anything before the php header() function.

$url = "myfailingurl";
$newurl = "http://www.mynewurl.com/blabla";

if ($url == "myfailingurl"){
     header("Location: $newurl"); die();
}

More details about the header() function here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php
