Conditional redirecting

  • As webmaster of the village web site I have been asked to add something which I don’t thinks is possible!
    In the village is a small wild life area. At the gate is a notice with a QR code that leads to a YouTube video about what can be seen at this time in the area. What I have been asked to do is setup a means of directing the person using the QR code to the village web site and from there redirecting them to a YouTube video appropriate for the month or season.
    Is this possible, or more to the point, easily done? If it is, I’d appreciate a pointer to the how.

  • Generically, if the QR code takes them to a particular page in the site then auto redirects, you really just need a static file not a page and you could do something like:

    <?php 
$month = date('m');

if($month == 1){
	header("Location: https://youtube.com/x");
	die();
} elseif($month == 2){
	header("Location: https://youtube.com/y");
	die();
} elseif($month == 3){
	header("Location: https://youtube.com/z");
	die(); 
} else {
   /* some default action... */
}
?>

    Totally untested so just an idea.
