Is the following code the best way to redirect someone to a different page using PHP? <?php header("Location: http://www.yahoo.com"); ?>
From personal experience I can recommend putting "exit;" behind a header() redirect to absolutely make sure that no code is executed afterwards in the script: header("Location: http://www.yahoo.com"); exit; Without "exit;" the header redirect soemtimes didn't work for me. Regards, Torsten Roehr
I looked for a "redirect" function of some kind and didn't come up with anything. Just curious what the consensus is... Thanks

Good tip, thanks!
