Page Redirection

[Anon]

How do I achieve page redirection thru PHP for example on clicking an URL.

I know we can use:
<?header("Location: index.php");?>
But what if I have to stick in this code in the middle of my php code and is preceeded by outputs.

include('index.php');
This only appends the content of the index.php into the caller code.

Use a javascript command.

another thing you might want to note:

a header using relative links like the one in the example:

Location: index.php

WILL work in most newest browsers, BUT if you read the http protocol, the "Location" header requires a FULL url. Expect some older and http compliant browsers not to work.

Thanks. Does that mean, it is not possible using php?

A page redirection on clicking a url? that's just a link, nothing special

what exactly do you want to achieve?

I think that possibly if you have buffering turned on then you can redirect in the middle of the page. But if you've already sent something to the browser then it's pretty difficult to suddenly start sending headers in the middle of the content.
