Redirecting

[Anon]

Greetings!

I'm new to PHP coming from an ASP background. ASP allows me to redirect to a page with the response.redirect command as follows:

<%
If a = 1 Then
Response.redirect "/page_a.asp"
Else
Response.redirect "/page_b.asp"
End If
%>

Is it possible to do conditional redirection on PHP4? Is there a similar command to this in PHP4, if so, what is it?

Many thanks,
Anthony

Use header();

header( "Location: url" );

One stipulation: you cannot output any text before the call to the header() function.

Or you can use javascript , which is very simple:

window.redirect (page name);

you can redirect file such as:

<?
if ($a == 1) {
header( "Location: /page_a.asp" );
}
else {
header( "Location: /page_b.asp" );
}
?>

OR you can include file:

<?
if ($a == 1) {
include( "/path/etc/page_a.asp" );
}
else {
include( "/path/etc/page_b.asp" );
}
?>
