Redirecting to a URL in PHP

[gwledig]

Hi
I have a basic script running which will be called from a hyperlink on a Web page, this fires up the PHP script in the browser window and performs the stuff I want it to do (saves a file from the web to a local location), when the script has run I'm left with a blank screen.

I'd like to then redirect the page to a Website, but I've tried using the header declaration and this does redirect BUT the script doesnt run !
Does anyone know of a way to send the client/user to a URL after a function or procedure has run?

thanks

put your header('Location: ...'); at the end of the script (as long as there's no output prior).

php executes top to bottom.

You should be able to put the header() call anywhere in the script, even the top. [man]header/man doesn't cause the script to end once you set an HTTP header to be sent.
