PHP 'smart' Redirect?

[PHPstarter]

Hi guys.

I created a login script that will be used to view different pages, and so upon successful login I need to make a code that searches for a page name with 'index' in it.
page names are like index2, index3, index4 etc, but never in the same location.

im creating a redirect by using the sleep function.

<?php
sleep(5);
$url_go = <search for the index page here, even though it has a number in it>
header("Location: '$url_go'");
?>

Reason for this is so that I can more easily use this script on a lot of pages without having to edit everything every single time there is a change etc.

thx for any replies

This is hardly a "script", why don't you just redirect when you know where you're going. PHP can't help you if you have no clue where your program should go.

For your numbered index solution, just use glob() to find a file that has the word index in it.

this script on a lot of pages without having to edit everything every single time there is a change etc.

If you're index file changes, why not just use your IDE's Replace_All function to change the name of the index file.

Let me know if this is your intention,

Thanks for the answer.

I really just need a function that searches for a file that has 'index' in it and will so forth redirect there, but I have no clue how it the code would look like as I have never tried the glob() function before.

Search for the function on php.net.

RTFM.
