I have got a PHP file with this line of code:

 

echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=">';

 

I want the URL to be a variable, E.g.

echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=$URL">';

 

But when I do this it loads mysite/$URL instead of loading the URL.

 

Any idea how to add this in so that it is a function/variable instead of interperating that as the URL?

 

As you can tell, Im not good with PHP

You could use a PHP Header redirect as an alternative (this is what I use).

or

 

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=<?php echo $URL;?>">

 

But really as Christopher has said, you should just use PHP's built-in header redirect as it send's the correct hTTP headers to the browser.

But when I do this it loads mysite/$URL instead of loading the URL.

 

Which is what you asked it to do

try http://$URL
