I'm a PHP PROGRAMMER & I HAVE THIS FILE IN ASP.
I WANT TO REWRITE IT IN PHP..
I'm TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THIS CODE

---------------------------------------------------

PaymentID = Request("paymentid")
ResultCode = Request("result")
AuthCode = Request("auth")
TranID = Request("tranid")
PostDate = Request("postdate")
TrackID = Request("trackid")

Response.Write("REDIRECT=http://www.domain.com/receipt.php?PaymentID=" & PaymentID)

------------------------------------------------

Is it GET REQUEST?
CAN ANYONE REWRITE THIS SMALL CODE IN PHP?

----------------------
THIS IS MY REWRITING BUT I DON'T KNOW IT IT IS CORRECT




if (isset ($_GET['paymentid'])) { $PaymentID = $_GET['paymentid']; }
if (isset ($_GET['result'])) { $ResultCode = $_GET['result']; }
if (isset ($_GET['auth'])) { $AuthCode = $_GET['auth']; }
if (isset ($_GET['tranid'])) { $TranID = $_GET['tranid']; }
if (isset ($_GET['postdate'])) { $PostDate = $_GET['postdate']; }
if (isset ($_GET['trackid'])) { $TrackID = $_GET['trackid']; }

//---------------------------------------------------------------
if (isset ($_GET['paymentid'])) {

print "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0; url='http://www.domain.com/receipt.php?PaymentID=$PaymentID'>";

}
//---------------------------------------------------------------

First and foremost, take your left pinky finger, move it over about half an inch, and press down. I can't truly be of much use to you other than that; however, you shouldn't take that piece of advice for granted, I guarantee its value far surpasses its appearance.

I have never used ASP myself; however, by all assumptions, your translation seems correct. You only stated that you don't know if it is correct, so I have to assume you haven't tried it yet, or else you would likely be more decisive. In any case, if what you have isn't correct, I would suggest $_POST, as that is the other, equally likely, option.

the Repsonse.Write code doesn't seem quite right, since that's not the right--looks like it's just going to print that text on the page.

if you really want to do a redirect in php though, you should use header('Location: http://www.domain.com/receipt.php?PaymentID=' . $PaymentID);

meta tags with http-equiv should really only be used when you aren't able to send the appropriate headers. with php, you can always send the appropriate headers.

Don't lie now, misterhaan. There was a time when every other day I would find myself telling people quite the contrary. You can only send headers if no data has been outputted yet, making output buffering the easiest solution to that problem.

you can always send the appropriate headers -- you just have to do it the right way ;)
