How do i redirect after output

Xephon

I'm wondering how i can redirect other that using header()

Im creating a login script, I want it to redirect the users back to the mainpage after they login, but since I want the whole site to look somewhat the same (im making a CMS), and since everything is nested in tables, I need to output html before i declare the header. Is there any way to do it?

check into ob_start() in the PHP manuel.

Or javascript.

You may use javascript:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
window.location="http://www.yoursite.com";
</script>

or <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=yoursite.html">

It doesn't directly relate to redirection, but as headers need to be sent before output, keeping the output in a buffer allows you to control when to output the page, so you can modify the headers -- and hence, redirect -- where ever you like.

Just remember to call ob_end_flush() at the end of the script.
