redirect.php maligns redirection URL every time

[PHP]
require_once("/users/ppowell/web/php_global_vars.php");

if ($_GET['id']) {

// INITIALIZE VARS
$fileID = @fopen("$userPath/xml/redirect.xml", 'r');
$stuff = @fread($fileID, @filesize("$userPath/xml/redirect.xml"));
@fclose($fileID);

// XML PARSE
$parser = xml_parser_create();
@xml_parse_into_struct($parser, $stuff, $redirectArray, $tags);
@xml_parser_free($parser);


/*------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This will assume that the entire 3-dim XML-parsed array will have
as its outer key the
same ID value found in the 'id' attribute in the innermost array.
This means you cannot
ever delete any row from redirect.xml unless you renumber!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

$url = $redirectArray[$id]['attributes']['URL'];
if (trim($redirectArray[$id]['attributes']['QUERY_STRING']) !== '?')
$url .= '?';
$url .= preg_replace('/=/i', '=',
$redirectArray[$id]['attributes']['QUERY_STRING']);
$url = preg_replace('/\/$/', '', $url); // REMOVE TRAILING / TO
ACCOMMODATE QUERY STRING AND/OR ANCHOR

if (preg_match('/^http/i', $url)) {
echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">\n<!--\n location.href=\"" .
str_replace('"', '&quot;', $url) . "\";\n //-->\n</script>\n" .
"<noscript><meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"0:URL=" .
str_replace('"', '&quot;', $url) . "\"></noscript>\n";
}

}

[/PHP]

If the URL happens to be this:

http://the-nordic-one.livejournal.co...memory10242006

Instead it winds up looking like this every single time:

http://the-nordic-one.livejournal.co...emory10242006?

I know for a fact that redirect.xml has the correct information:

<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><redirections><redirection
id="1"
url="http://valsignalandet.com/http://valsignalandet.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/ppowell/te
xt.cgi"
query_string="path=studies&amp;name=madonnacrucifi xion.txt"></redirection><redirection
id="2" url="http://the-nordic-one.livejournal.com#alchemymemo
ry10242006" query_string="?"></redirection></redirections>
</pre>

But the URL is maligned every single time upon redirection. Is there a
way to prevent this from happening?

Thanx
Phil

It appears that the code is missing a set of curly braces; this is
causing the first call to preg_match() to fire unconditionally, which
means that the query string is always going to be appended to the URL
(even if it's only '?').

Try this:

$url = $redirectArray[$id]['attributes']['URL'];
if (trim($redirectArray[$id]['attributes']['QUERY_STRING']) !== '?') {
$url .= '?';
$url .= preg_replace('/=/i', '=',
$redirectArray[$id]['attributes']['QUERY_STRING']);
}
$url = preg_replace('/\/$/', '', $url); // REMOVE TRAILING /
