Automatic Redirection

Anon

I have a quite annoying little problem, the solution is probably pretty simple, but anyway. How can I get PHP to stop processing the current page and instead open a different html page / zip file ... ( in my case I have a script which checks if an email adress is valid and if the user wants to join the newsgroup, then sends an email to the admin and then sends the user to the page he wants to see, it's a fool-proof registraion system)

I just started learning php yesterday, so please forgive me if the question is REALLY stupid

First suggestion: RTM (Read The Manual)

Second suggestion: Please do a search BEFORE posting.

Third suggestion: header("Location: http://www.php.net/");

Good Luck

Problem is I read most of the manual... there is no command
I did a search but there was only the header solution

3.The header solution does not work. I guess because the script tries to send the header again, when it has alread reloaded at leat once.

A solution might be this
redir$ = "<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=index.html">";
echo $redir
if somebody can tell me how to include " in an echo message (and I don't want the quote html syntac, since I have to set a string here.

fitzbean

redir$ = "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='5; URL=index.html'>";

echo "$redir";

Shoudl work no?

andrin

redir$ = "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"5; URL=index.html\">";
echo $redir

Should work as well :-)

zalath

$redir = "<script language=\"javascript\">location.href=\"http://mypage.com\";</script>";
echo $redir;
Should also work =D
