redirect selected desktop web link to the mobile site from a mobile phone

Question

I am faced with a little challenge. I have a website and also the mobile version. When a user using a mobile phone clicks on a link from another site eg facebook, i want the user to be redirected to the mobile site displaying the content of the selected link.

Achievement:

i was able to redirect the user from the desktop version to the mobile page.

Challenge

I am unable to display the content of the selected link eg http://passnownow.com/inblog.php?id=3840#.UToTf3YetfU.twitter .

it only navigates to the mobile site where the user will have to search for the post.

what can i do.

this is my code.

<? include("overall.php");?>
<?

session_start();

require_once('mobile_device_detect.php');

$blackberrystatus = mobile_device_detect(true,true,false,true,true,true,true,false,false);

$androidstatus = mobile_device_detect(true,true,true,true,false,true,true,false,false);

$mobile = mobile_device_detect(true,true,true,true,true,true,true,false,false);
$isMobile = (bool)preg_match('#\b(ip(hone|od)|android\b.+\bmobile|opera m(ob|in)i|windows (phone|ce)|blackberry'.
                    '|s(ymbian|eries60|amsung)|p(alm|rofile/midp|laystation portable)|nokia|fennec|htc[\-_]'.
                    '|up\.browser|[1-4][0-9]{2}x[1-4][0-9]{2})\b#i', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] );

if($_GET["view"]=="full"){

    setcookie("passnownow[client]", "pc", $time + 1209600);

    $_SESSION["client"] = "pc";

    }

if ($_GET["ref"]=="android" or $_GET["ref"]=="blackberry"){

    setcookie("passnownow[client]", "app", $time + 1209600);

    $_SESSION["client"] = "app";


    header('location: mobile/new.php?id=""');

    } else if ($_SESSION["client"]=="pc" or $_COOKIE['passnownow']["client"]=="pc"){



        }else if ($mobile or $isMobile){

    setcookie("passnownow[client]", "mobile", $time + 1209600);

    $_SESSION["client"] = "mobile";


    **header('location: mobile/new.php?id=""');**   

        }

    include("overall.php");

?>

My question is: how can i pass the header('location: mobile/new.php?id=""'); to display the selected link eg header('location: mobile/new.php?id="234"');

What code do I add to get the page id of the selected link and pass it to header('location: mobile/new.php?id=""');

I tried using the $_GET[''] command but it didn't work ie header('location: mobile/new.php?id=<?php $_GET['id']; ?>');

Answer 1

Your syntax for your redirect is incorrect and this may be your problem. You're treating the URL variable as a string (ex. index.php?var="value" ). The proper syntax would be

header('Location: mobil/new.php?id=1234');

Then when building your string you can do

header("Location: mobil/new.php?id={$_GET['id']}");

You should always check your inputs for security reasons.

In your last statement

I tried using the $_GET[''] command but it didn't work ie header('location: mobile/new.php?id= <?php $_GET['id']; ?> ');

Your problem was that you were trying to enter into PHP when you were already in it. No need to use <?php when you haven't closed out of the last opening. Also, though your syntax is already wrong, you were missing an echo .
