Re: A faster way to Redirect pages

header(), session_start(), etc. can go anywhere in a page (after any content) as long as you start the page using output buffering (ob_start()). Example (bad example) follows: <?php ob_start() print this; print that; if ($forgot) { // oops need to redirect header('Location: foo.php'); } print this; print that; if ($forgot_again) { // need session session_start(); } etc. Barajas, Arturo wrote:

Just clarifying a little. The header() function doesn't necessarily go at the top. You can make whatever operations you need, but as long as nothing is echoed to the browser, there's no problem. I mean: <? // Query to a database... //Real long process... header("Location: yournewpage.php?arg1=val1"); exit; ?> -- Un gran saludo/Big regards...

You have to put it at the top of the file, since no other information can be sent before the Location header. HTH, -Oscar F. Poon, Kelvin (Infomart) wrote:

Hi, I know this topic was discussed but I deleted my previous

mail so I can't go

back and review them. My question is, is there a faster way

to redirect

html pages other than just using <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH"

CONTENT="1;

URL=login.php"> ? Is there any way we can do that in php so that it redirect "FASTER"? Right now I set the redirect time to be

1 sec, but for

some reason it still takes kind of long until it actually

redirects, I was

wondering if there is any other way I can do this faster. THanks a lot everyone, Kelvin
