[PHP] Header function

Greetings

we are going to use the header() funtion to redirect

start making a file called page.php

at the top of the file add


Example 1
After <?php add



the LOCATION means
where you want it to go.

Example 2
you also can define a file that you want to redirect to
After <?php add



Example 3
you also can add a timer to it
After <?php add



Refresh: 0; means that it will refresh to the url you entered and
the 0; means the seconds it wait to refresh.

Example 4
now if you want to go to the root of the site use this
After <?php add




Have fun with this tutorial..

Hey, nice bit of info there, i never knew you could add a timer to the redirect thingy, that could be very useful.

Its worth mentioning that any HEADER function wont work if there is output before it. Eg if you used ECHO or PRINT before using the HEADER it will give an error, i think you can d ther things like form processing, database connections etc but nothing can be output to the browser before the HEADER, that caused me some headaches in the past.

thanx shadowx for givven that last info for me

thanx for the support
