Hi,
In too many projects / scripts / examples, I see rewrites or redirects
being done like (pseudocode):
if (good) {
do something
} else {
header (location: http://otherpage)
exit
}
Is this a best practice? What arguments are there to use this kind of
mechanism?
I've seen form processing being done, when finished it gets a header
redirect to a 'succes' page.
I've seen URL's with wrong or insufficient parameters being redirected
this way.
I've seen too many horrible things that actually belongs into a black
book of webscripting.
What is your opinion about (ab)using rewrites / redirects? Do you use it
quick and dirty, or is it some elegant way of controlling flow?
Thanks.
