header( ) in body?

[[deleted]]

Is it in any way possible that I can redirect to another page using header()?

Or are there other ways?

Thanks

Right from the manual, this might be what you're lookig for...

header("Location: http://www.php.net/");
exit;

header() won't work if anything has been sent to the client already (be it html or PHP warnings, which are plain html as well)

another way is to use Javascript, which can be put anywhere in a page, but requires the page to load first

<script language="Javascript">window.loaction/href="mynewpage.php";</script>

Sorry!

Is it in any way possible that I can redirect to another page within the body of a page using header()?

As far as I can tell, a header(Location: blahblah); will redirect the client regardless of where it it's placed, but the html or whatever before will never be displayed, defeating the purpose.

What you're looking for is either javascript or the html meta-refresh. Meta refresh is easy, just drop something like this in a webpage, and it will redirect the client to the url after 5 seconds.
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="5;URL=http://www.php.net">

The Header function sould be called befor sending any html script be carefull !
Check what you have to, and then re-direct
<?
.....
if ()
{header();}
else
?>

...
Your html
