PHP code for "Response.redirect"

[Anon]

Dear all,

I want to convert ASP code to PHP code,
please give me a code equivalent to ASP code, "Response redirect".

From the PHP Manual: function header()

header ("Location: http://www.php.net"); / Redirect browser to PHP web site /
exit; / Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. /

you can also use this function to write other HTTP headers like caching/no-caching directives for browsers and proxies.

Attention: this function writes to the HTTP Header, which precedes the document contents. So, you must be sure that you DON'T output anything (ex: ) before you use the header() function. If you have empty spaces in any line preceding your <?php tag you will fall on this trap.

Hi,

You already ask a nearly question a few days ago.

So, before posting this kind of question. Ask you this question:

What does the "response" object mean in ASP ?
It means : Send a response header

Now, what is the equivalent to send HTTP headers in PHP ?
header() function.

to send a specific content-type :
header("content-type:...")

To redirect :
header("Location: newurl")
...

Read http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/function.header.php
and read the basics of HTTP specification for more.

Hope this helps
