ANY information, including a hard return. So if you have a login script, you would start your session, register any variables, then redirect. <?php header("Location: index.php"); ?> That would do the trick. But like I said, once the parser begins to write HTML to the browser, then you can no longer send HTTP headers.

I call it redirecting, but can't find it in the documentation using that track. I have a script...that if a certain criteria is met, I want to load a different script. Haven't been able to figure that out yet. I have gotten about it by conditionally executing a location.href in javascript. It works, but would like to know how to do it in PHP. ~Thanks.
