Yet another header (Location: ) question

[clonemaster]

I've read the docs @ php.net re: header (). I've even read through several threads on the subject. Yet my brain still doesn't comprehend.

Please help me rewrite this code so that I may understand!

<?php
    header ("Location: test.php?page=1");
    // info for test.php?page=1
    print ("<p>you are now viewing page 1</p>");
    print ("<p><a href=\"test.php\">back to test.php</a></p>");
    exit;

header ("Location: test.php?page=2");
// info for test.php?page=2
print ("<p>you are now viewing page 2</p>");
print ("<p><a href=\"test.php\">back to test.php</a></p>");
exit;

header ("Location: test.php?page=3");
// info for test.php?page=3
print ("<p>you are now viewing page 3</p>");
print ("<p><a href=\"test.php\">back to test.php</a></p>");
exit;

// info for test.php
print ("<h3>you are viewing test.php</h3>");
print ("<p><a href=\"test.php?page=1\">visit test page 1</a></p>");
print ("<p><a href=\"test.php?page=2\">visit test page 2</a></p>");
print ("<p><a href=\"test.php?page=3\">visit test page 3</a></p>");
?>

Well - all that code will do is constantly reload the page. header(Location:...) is for redirecting 🙂 go here:http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10222056

I believe that is what you where trying to do with that code. Look at my reply in that post for a script that works 🙂

after header(Location: ...) is called, the rest of the page after it is no longer processed because the server redirects you to the new page.

Hope that helps
