Re: redirecting to another page

There are several methods, but my favorite is to use a Location header which also changes the response status code. This method is transparent to the history mechanism, so users can still click the Back button. header('Location: http://example.org/'); Another method is to use the Refresh header, which also allows you to set a timer for the redirect. One disadvantage is that it can prevent a user from using the Back button. header('Refresh: 0; url=http://example.org/'); There are also client-side methods of redirecting the user, but this is a PHP list. :-) Hope that helps.
