Opening an HTML Page

[Anon]

After the PHP is done running, I would like to have it open a specific HTML page. I think I would use the ECHO command to do this, but I am unsure of the code, and can't seem to find it on the site. Can someone send me some quick coding for doing this?? Thanks.

Rich,

there are basicly two things you could do:

1.) You redirect to an other URL (that means th the user will see a different URL in his webbrowser):

Do something like this:

<?php

// Do your php-stuff here

header("Location: url/of/your/htmlfile.html");
?>

NOTE: It is important that NOTHING is printed out before the "Location..."-part.
This means that the leading <?php... has to be in the first line and first col. of your php-file. (You'll get a warning like "Couldn't write additional header" otherwise).

2.) You include the HTML-file (URL won't change in user's webbrowser)

Do this:

<?php

// Do your php-stuff here

include ("path/of/your/htmlfile.html");
?>

Keep in mind that relative links in your html-file might die because if php-file ande html-file are in different directories.
