IF ELSE and linking to another URL

[TrueJoker]

Is it possible once i have used an IF ELSE statement can i then make it link to a different page?

e.g.

if (!empty($_REQUEST['contact'])) {
$contact = stripslashes($_REQUEST['contact']);
} else {
$contact = Null;
echo '<p><font color="red"><b>You did not enter your Contact Name!</b></font></p>';
}

instead of it displaying a simple message syaing you did not enter..... can it be linked to another page where the error message is shown?

I have tried using a link function e.g.

link("

http://www.website.com/errorpage.html");

You can send headers that will redirect you to a new page. But you have to be sure to have absolutely no output (no html above the php, not even doctype, no print or echo statements, not even whitespace above the opening php bracket) before you issue header command.

else
{
    $contact = Null;
    header('Location: mynewURL.php');
}
