if ($source=="test") {
header("Location: $testurl['google']");
}
This is supposed to redirect to google.com if the url is example.com/redirect.php?source=test but it doesn't work. If I change the array key to 1 and change the location to $testurl[1] it does works. Why does it work with indexed but not associative arrays?
Assuming that you have somewhere an array $testurl which has an element google:
$testurl = [
'google' => 'https://google.pl'
];
Then you can use it like this:
if ($source=="test") {
header("Location: $testurl[google]");
}
or
if ($source=="test") {
header("Location: {$testurl['google']}");
}
or in my opinion the best option, like this:
if ($source=="test") {
header('Location: ' . $testurl['google']);
}
It is simply how it is defined: https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.parsing
There is a sentence:
// Works, quoted keys only work using the curly brace syntax
echo "This works: {$arr['key']}";
if ($source=="test") { $url = $testurl['google']; header("Location:$url"); }
