How to redirect to a php page ?

[Anon]

Hello

I've a php script that checks if all the value writen in my form are valid !
If everything is Ok, it daes an insert query and then it redirect to an other php page.
If Not the user get a java script message telling him that somme thing is wrong.

The problem is that i'm calling my php page 3 times (I'm using the onload propertie to redirect to an other page)

The question is :
Can i do sommething like
if (test)
{redirect_to(whatever.php);}

As far as I know there are 2 ways:

if (test)
{header("Location: whatever.php");}

This must be done BEFORE u send any other headers to the client. (meaning: before u write anything to the page, including PHP errors and warnings)

U can also use this:

if (test)
{echo "<script language=\"Javascript\">location.replace('whatever.php')</script>";}

This can be used anywhere, but since it's Javascript the page will have to load before redirecting, which makes it considerably slower.

Hope that helps.
