Change php page

Anon

How can I redirect a php page to other page??
Like response.redirect in asp ??
Does this function exists ?

<?php
header("Location: http://www.mysite.com");
?>

The header function allows you to set any HTTP header you want. Just seperate the header name apart from the header value with a colon. Also keep in mind that all HTTP headers MUST be sent before any text or html.

header("Location:www.otherpage.com");

Just remember, like in asp, you have to do it before you send any content to the browser. As soon as you send the <head> or as soon as you send an echo, no more redirect....and PHP, as far as I know, doesn't have the Response.Buffer = true and Response.Clear commands.

function redirect($address,$delay=0)
{
echo "<script language=javascript>\n";
echo "setTimeout(\"window.location='$address';\",$delay);\n";
echo "</script>\n";
}

This works as stated in another thread, but if the client has Javascript turned off then you'll get no redirect whatsoever.

Better to let the server handle it so you know it will get done.
