Hi all.

I have a simple redirect page that I am using to redirect users. The problem is, this redirect adds a parameter (?from=Somewhere) to the url of the page the user is being redirected to. Now the problem occours when the page they are being redirected to already has a parameter in which case the end result looks something like this (?NewsID=44?from=WhereTheUserCameFrom). Is there any way to check and see if there is already a perameter in the redirect url and if so change the (?from=Somewhere to &from=Somewhere)?

Thanks.

If InStr (Redirect_URL, "?") > 0 then
     Redirect_URL = Redirect_URL & "&from=WhereTheUserCameFrom"
else
     Redirect_URL = Redirect_URL & "?from=WhereTheUserCameFrom"
end if

Replace Redirect_URL as appropriate.

You could take a different approach and stick the URL in a session variable. That would solve this problem, and I'm not sure if you're concerned about search engines, but if you are, cleaner URLs are a good idea. Finally, session variables are stored on the server, which has a cost, but a trade-off is that they're much harder to manipulate. I don't know if this is a benefit in your situation or not, but it's worth considering...

hmmmmm :O
