[RESOLVED] Redirect Alternative

[talkster5]

Hi,
I am currently in the proccess of writing a script where I need to redirect the user to another page. However it is not possible for me to use the header function due to the page actually being included into a template so of course it will just error if I try it because the header has already been written. So I was wondering if there was another way that I could redirect the user without the use of the header function so that I can get this to work.

Thanks in advance to any suggestions.

Just so you know here is the script I am trying to run:

<?php
session_start();
if(!session_is_registered("auth")) {
echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content=0;url='index.php?page=login'>";
exit;
}
?>

I realised that I could just use the http redirect even though this may not be the best way but I still have the problem with the session not working because of it being written after html has already been written by the template and if I put it into the main template file it just ends up in a loop of sending itself back to the same page as index.php is the main file.

chage

echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content=0;url='index.php?page=login'>";

to

header("Location: index.php?page=login");

That will not work.

Oops... then try this instead

echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">window.location=\"index.php?page=login\"</script>";

Thanks for your help with the redirect and I have fixed the session problem now as well.
