If Install.php Exists, redirect to install.php

[Private_Guy]

Hi there,

My script has an install.php file which if it exists, I want it to redirect to the install.php file. I entered this code in index.php:

//----------------------------
// Checking If Install File Exists!
//----------------------------
if(is_dir('./install.php') and $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != 'localhost')
{
	header("Location: ./install.php");
	die();
}
//----------------------------
// Finished Checking
//----------------------------

But it didn't work, it just views index.php naturally, even if install.php exists, what I'm I doing wrong?

Many thanks for your help.

Best Regards,

Try this instead:

//----------------------------
// Checking If Install File Exists!
//----------------------------
if(file_exists('./install.php') and $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != 'localhost')
{
	header("Location: ./install.php");
	die();
}
//----------------------------
// Finished Checking
//----------------------------

The reason it was not working is because install.php is not a dir and that's what you were checking for.
Hope this helps.
