how to load a *.html page with an if statement

[mrizos]

how can I load a URL based on the outcome of an IF statement

for example:

if ($variable==variable){
load URL
}

forgive me if my code sucks, I just started PHP yesterday

Well, I'm not exactly sure of what you want to accomplish, so I'll show you two different ways depending on what you want to do...

if you want to redirect to a URL, you can use this method. For this to work, you can not have sent anything to the browser yet. No echos or prints.

if ($variable==variable){
header("Location: http://yourserver.com/pagetogoto.html");
exit;
}

if you just want to include another page in the page you are doing the if statement on, then do this:

if ($variable==variable){
include('/path/to/somefile.html');
}
