redirecting program execution to other page ...

[Anon]

Hi,
I have one problem and would like to ask you how to resolve it. If I have two separate php files, and I want to launch one from the other one, how to do this? I dont want to use include or require because I want to redirect program execution totally ($PHP_SELF should chnage value as well). The effect should be exactly the same as using submit buttons from a form, but I need to do this not upon clicking on form button, but rather from the code - say if statement .... I hope I have described this propperly, I would highly appreciate if you give me your opinion on this ...

Thanks in advance, Dule

As long as the first script has not output any HTML to the client yet you can use a redirect header:

header("Location: secondscript.php");

I believe you can even append variables to the page name just like a "get" request, though I have never tried this.
