location = Please Help 1

[chuckbridges]

I have programmed a lot in Java Script
there is a location = command you can use to re-direct
the page to another page...

Is there a way in PHP to excute a line of code that loads
another whole page replacing the existing one?

Thanks A million

Not really. When you receive the page, php, which runs on the server, is done and connection is lost. PHP cannot do anything until user (or JavaScript) requests another (or same) page from the server again. However, PHP has the ability to redirect, the only catch is, that page must be redirected before any output is sent to browser. So, if you want to display a page then redirect, use meta tags or javascript. If you just want to evaluate some code (and send no output) and then redirect, use PHP:

header("Location: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.newurl.com");[/URL]

If the page is puclic viewable, you need to specify that it's permanently moved.
If you fail to do so, google and other search-engines will punish your page-ranking!

header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"); // fix for google
header("Location: [URL unfurl="true"]http://domain.tld/");[/URL] 
header("Connection: close");  // fix for IE

If you use the meta-refresh, a low countdown will also be punished!
