Re: Redirects in PHP

Javascript.. bah humbug. :) Carl, you can avoid these issues by using output buffering allowing you to call header() whever you want in your script. <? // example.. ob_start(); // buffer output echo "this is output you'll never see"; header("Location: thankyou.html"); // header redirect ob_end_flush(); // flush output ?> - Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Johnny Martinez" <jmartinez@citrusglobal.com> To: "'Carl Furst'" <carl@vote.com> Cc: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 10:28 AM Subject: RE: [PHP] Redirects in PHP > try a delayed javascript redirect. location header must be in the header > whichprevents your visitor from seeing html...thats irritating. i miss the > ASP "response.redirect" which can be placed anywhere > > J > > -----Original Message----- > From: Carl Furst [mailto:carl@vote.com] > Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 9:23 AM > To: > Subject: [PHP] Redirects in PHP > > > I want to do one of those redirect pages where a php script prints HTML > saying "sorry we're not here, we're redirecting you to the right location" > and then after about 2-3 seconds a new location header gets printed and you > are transported to the new location.
