Php redirect to variable if existent

Question

Afternoon! I am trying to check if a URL received from a post variable exists and if it does send the user there. If not redirect elsewhere... I wrote this but for some reason Is not working,

Any ideas? Cheers

<?php>
$file = $_POST["code"];
$file_headers =                   
@get_headers('http://example.co.uk/' $file);
if($file_headers[0] == 'HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found') {
/* does not exist
header('Location: http://example.co.uk/?exists=false');
echo $file 'not found';
}
else {
/* exists
header('Location: http://example.co.uk/' $file);
echo $file 'found';
};
?>

Please post code that is without syntax errors unless you ask about the error message itself. Thank you for choosing flying with us. — hakre, Jan 07 '13 at 17:45

You are using comments wrong. It is // and not /* when doing a one line comment.

As you can see from the markdown display, the whole end of your code is currently commented out and your script will have errors.

May be worth mentioning how to use multiline `/* */` properly – Sharlike Jan 04 '13 at 18:45

Try do it that way:

$file = 'http://www.domain.com/somefile.jpg';
$file_headers = @get_headers($file);
if($file_headers[0] == 'HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found') {
    $exists = false;
}
else {
    $exists = true;
}
