Redirect page if criteria ok

Anon

Please can someone help me with this. I've tried reading through the various related postings but I can't seem to get my page to redirect after an if statement.

I've tried using the header statement and also Javascript but to no avail.

Any ideas???

Use this:

if($var == true){
header("Location:http://www.php.net");
}elseif($var == false){
header("Location:http://www.apache.org");
}

Consider that you cannot echo or print anything before using a header in this way (or any other, haha). Another workaround would be making a JavaScript function that redirects the page, taking one argument. Then, on the <BODY> tag, use a OnLoad="RedirFunction(argument)", and make the JS function redirect your document by using

document.location.href if no frames
parent.document.location.href if frames

Hope it helps

thanks, this is much appreciated

I actually ended up using the following, which seems to be working OK:

if (!$login_result)
{
echo "Sorry, LogIn failed, please try again later";
exit;
}
else
{
echo "Please wait...<br>";
echo('<META Http-equiv="refresh" Content="0; Url=Index.html">');
}
