how can i redirect without header()?

Anon

is there any other way to redirect to another page other than header()? i cant use header cause the page calls itself and wont read the header function when it is reloaded the second time...thanks

emcb_php

Hi,

No, you could use a meta-http-equiv

<?php

echo "
<head>
<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\"content=\"seconds_here;url_here\" />
</head>
";

doesnt the meta refresh work exactly like the header()? in other words, if header() doesnt work, will meta refresh work?

You could escape php and redirect using javascript, when it drops into the JavaScript it'll just jump to the destination page

You can still pass any vars along the way if you want to

?>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
location.href='going_to_this_page.php?var=<?=$var?>';
</SCRIPT>
<?

Hope that helps
