Now, why would someone need to do : if ($foo == 'example') { echo 'Hope you find example.com pleasing, have fun!'; header('Location: http://www.example.com/'); exit; } If such an announcement is needed, using html Meta Refresh tag works as one can also implement the delay (some of our users are slow readers :). Also, headers_sent() can be useful. I'd personally avoid output buffering for this.
