redirection

[Anon]

I'm just tryin to learn php so bare with me.... but i need a way to redirect a page in php.

I know obout the header() function but that redirects it through the http header... i was just wondering if there is another way to redirect w/o using the http header in PHP... ie... in javascript. window.location("xxx.html") will redirect it to that file w/o using the http header to at first.

Yes, that will do it, but a header redirect will be much faster and easier, and won't fail even if your visitors have javascript off. If you running into a "Headers already send" error, use the ob_start() function at the beginning of your script, and ob_end_flush() at the end.

<script language="JavaScript">
window.location.href = "http://www.othersite.com"
</script>

There are some times you want to redirect using JS.

Hope that helps!

Could use html:

print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=yourpage.php\">";
