function to send a user to another page 1

[leegold2]

What is the function in PHP I can put into a PHP script that will send a user to another page ie. script? I don't want to to POST or GET anything just relay the user to a more updated page from an older one. Thanks.

it's all on the php.net site. but to save you the time:

<?
$newpage = ""; //insert full url of new page here
header("Location: $newpage");
?>

note that because this modifies the headers you must ensure that this appears before any text at all (even a blank line) is sent to the client.

if you want a redirect message to be shown to the user then you need to rely on a mixture of a link and an html-meta tag. i have posted on this before in this forum over the last couple of days.
