1390910	2014-12-26 06:06:00	Scenario: Currently "fictitious.nz" is pointed to a file called "fictitious.php" residing on a server which redirects to 1.2.3.4 in the line that reads "<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://1.2.3.4"> What I want to do is put the "1.2.3.4" into a txt file 'externalip.txt' and have "fictitious.php" read that file and redirect accordingly. I can get "fictitious.php" to read the file and display "1.2.3.4" on the screen, but I can't get it to redirect to "1.2.3.4". I suspect it's along the lines of <?php $externalip = file_get_contents('externalip.txt'); echo $externalip; ?> <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://externalip.txt" which doesn't work but I'm sure is fairly close. Can anyone help me out? I have a dangerously small knowledge of php...	iansmcdonald (6977)
