automoatic redirect

[benjy]

if i have a function such as the one below

function blah()
{
blah blah blah;
}

how would i make it sooo that after the funtion blah() has been executed it takes you to a particular URL???????

header("Location: http://www.yahoo.com");

This will produce an error if you have sent any output (including html and spaces) to the visitor; so be careful

This will let you do it after the headers are sent, but of course it requires javascript to be enabled:

## Jump and slowjump, for redirecting after printed header ##
function jump($file) {
echo "
<script> 
window.location.replace(\"$file\");
</script>
";
}
function slowjump($file) {
echo "
<script> 
function redirect() { 
window.location.replace(\"$file\");
} 
setTimeout(\"redirect();\", 2000); 
</script>
";
}
## Called with ##
jump("index.php");
