Opening a new page

[vic_523]

Hello guys,
Just wondering if you would be able to help, I am new to the whole php thing.
:o
I just wanted to know how I can open up a new page using PHP. What I have done is written an 'if' statement, if the conditions are met I want one page to open and if they are not met for a different page to open. Is there any way of doing this?

I have tried the include() but this just adds the HTML page that I want onto the bottom of the first page instead of replacing the page!

Thank you for your time.
Vic

I've used an onLoad javascript handler to do that.

How do I do that?
Is there no way of getting PHP to put up just the file that I want (can i tell it to remove the other file first?) Instead of having the new one underneath (i.e. with the include() function).
Thank you for your help

PHP cannot communicate directly with the user. Everything PHP does happens before the user ever gets ANY part of the page. So all decision have to be made before then.

To do the javascript way, I just did something like:

if (condition met) echo "onLoad=myjavascript_function";

as PHP is printing out the BODY tag.

check places like hotscripts for the the javascript code
