Need help with translating ASP code to PHP

[skogen]

I've found that it's possible to check if a user logged in with this code

 if ($bbuserinfo[userid])
{
    // CODE TO EXECUTE IF USER IS LOGGED IN
}

On my (currently Snitz) board we have a function that allow users to download files (not from the forum but from the site)

I need help how to change this pice of ASP code into PHP so I can put it on the above posted code.

<% 

strFile2Show = Request.QueryString("asset") 

Response.Redirect "../DOWNLOADS/" & strFile2Show

%>

Thanks

Hi

To do this your way, which is not the best way do this!

do this!

PHP Code:

        header ( 'Location: ../DOWNLOADS/' . $_REQUEST['asset'] );

        exit (); 


To do it so that you validate the request (don't do something if something does not exist)

Then you would this!!!

PHP Code:

<?
    // system path to files windows full path ie: 'c:/www/docs/files/'

    $system = './http_docs/files/';

    // url to the files directory!

    $url = '/downloads/';


    if ( ! empty ( $_REQUEST['asset'] )  && is_readable ( $system . $_REQUEST['asset'] ) )
    {
        header ( 'Location: ' . $url . $_REQUEST['asset'] );

        exit ();
    }
    else if ( empty ( $_REQUEST['asset'] ) )
    {
        echo 'no valid file request sent';
    }
    else
    {
        echo 'file not found';
    }
