Hi,
I have a page that checks to see if a session exists and if so does a server side redirect - i tired
using header("Location: membersArea.php"); but I got an error about headers already sent,
guess this is because I have already output html before this php command. So I tried include
("membersArea.php"); this kind of worked but because I am using php includes for my
website header and footer I got strange results when the webpage was rendered. Therefor I used echo
"<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"refresh\"
content=\"0;URL=membersArea.php\">"; This works but are there any drawbacks? i.e.
is there a more elegant way to deal with my situation? Is this method supported by all browsers
etc..
Cheers.
Matt
