Hi:
I'm struggling with adding to a redirect url - I lose the $id value. What am I missing?
THANKS in advance.

$redirect_url = "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='1;URL=http://www.districtnine.org/login.php?id='".$id." />";
echo $redirect_url;

You're excluding the $id from the value of the "content" attribute. Try:

$redirect_url = "<meta http-equiv='refresh'
content='1;URL=http://www.districtnine.org/login.php?id=".$id."' />";

You might consider to do the redirect "directly" by sending the
appropriate "Location" HTTP response header, instead of letting the
browser do the redirect.

No, they definitely SHOULD: <www.w3.org/QA/Tips/reback>

Not with javascript. Nonsense propagates like wildfire in this field.

Christoph:
THANKS- that's what I needed. The reason I need to script this way is that two different URLs are needed based on whether $id has a value, and if $id does have a value, it populates a field on a login page, resulting in the user just having to enter their password. Otherwise, the user is directed to a different page to establish a non-member account. This is all triggered by scanning a dynamic QR on the mailing label.
There may be an easier way to do it, but this will (now!) work.
Bud :-))
