I acquired a very basic redirect script from:
[HTML]http://www.minisitegal lery.com/blog/php-javascript-countdown-script-with-timezone-setting.html[/HTML]
which is supposed to count down to a specified date and switch to a new webpage after that date. The original coder had included this quote with the code:
WARNING…
This script is not created with proper error trapping. If it’s not working, then something is wrong with your implementation. And I can’t provide support for it either. Oh yeah, it’s poorly documented to.
So use at in anyway you want but don’t bug me with it.
It uses PHP to acquire the date from the server and javascript to keep refreshing the live countdown timer. Ok the javascript counter works fine but the redirect isn't working. -
document.location.href = "<?=$_GET['data']?>";
-
alert("New Redirect Page="+ document.location.href);
-
The output to this alert box showings the varbiable is equal to http://www.oldwebpage.com
Then I click the OK button to the alert and for some reason it's substituting an odd redirect location as follows: http://www.oldwebpage.com/www.newwebpage.com
Not sure why it is attaching both variables during runtime.

the php code seems strange, try
[PHP]<?php echo $_GET['data']; ?>[/PHP]
the php code seems strange, try
[PHP]<?php echo $_GET['data']; ?>[/PHP]
OK I tried that but it didn't work. It looks like the original coder intended on assigning the javascript variable document.locati on.href with the value being parsed from the input file. My javascript is weak and am I wrong to say that your method just prints out the text during runtime.

$_GET['data'] would get the data parameter passed in the URL, e.g. for
http://someurl/index.php?data= somesite/test.php, it would output "somesite/test.php". In JavaScript, the correct variable/object to set is window.location .href. Also, use full URLs to go to another site.
Thanks.. I understood both.. If you try out that simple script from the website you will see that it doesn't seem to work as you explained. I realize where it is getting the post data from and also have tried the full URLS and it still is keeping the old URL and appending the new URL as one string for some reason...

OK, how are you calling this script?
I was calling it inside the body of the html file.

No, I meant the actual code that you're using to call the script.

Sorry if this is the wrong group. I tried to find the one I thought
would be most relevant.
I'm an old PHP guy, who knows little about asp and NOTHING about
asp.net, but need to learn at least enough to convert a favorite PHP
script to work on an ASP.NET site.
I'm experimenting with simple example scripts that will help me learn

I need to implement a simple application that listens for web requests on a
well-known URL, grab the request , which is an XML document, and send as
respnse an XML document.
each client sends a first request and I return failure or a session ID which
I store, and further requests should have the session ID.
isn't there a sim[ple way to do it? I keep reading about HTTP handlers.
isn't there a simpler way to implement it?
