redirecting a page

Hi,

how do you redirect a page in PHP (not using the the meta REFRESH option)

Something like one has in ASP:

response.redirect('someURL')

Does something similar exist in PHP? (I'm sure it does, but cannot find it)

thanks for any help you can give!

Yaak. 🙂

Note: read php.net's comments about the header() function as it's somewhat buggy.

You can do this with

header("Location: someurl");

Hope that helps!

Dont forget that you cant use headers if you've already sent something (cookie/html/another header) to the browser.

Im still migrating to PHP after Micro$oft abandon the ASP ship.

response.redirect in ASP works even if the headers were already sent.

ASP has got page buffer, what's php equivelent?

Header() function doesn't. 😕

but the browsers accept things like

echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=index.php">';

How can you put a variable in the header, this doesnt work

header('Location: $url');
