PHP redirecting an HTML page? 1

[capitano]

Hi all,

Does anybody know a way (a PHP command) to re-direct a visitor of your webpage to another webpage? In ColdFusion, I know you can re-direct the location of a user with:

<CFLOCATION URL=&quot;

http://www.mydomain.com/newpage.cfm&quot;>

When this is embedded in my HTML, it will instantly re-direct the user to newpage.cfm.

Is there a PHP equivalent of <CFLOCATION> ??

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

Try

<?php

Header(&quot;Location:

http://www.foo.com/&quot;);

?>

And make sure you didn't output anything before this.

Hi

The above response from Joe is the best way, but if you have output something to the browser (and have no choice - not sure why that would be!!!) then you can use:

<?php
echo (&quot;<script>location='

http://www.foo.com'</script>&quot;);

?>

This uses JavaScript to do the redirection and it will work even if you have sent output to the browser.

Cheers
