note 72357 added to function.header

I have always used 'header("Location: http://www.foo.com");' to redirect the browser but have found that it is MUCH more effective to use a javascript function such as echo '<script language="javascript">'; echo 'window.location="http://www.foo.com"'; echo '</script>'; it isn't perfect, but it works all the time rather than having an error that you have already echo'ed information and the header cannot be sent etc etc. ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 71.227.217.96 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/72357 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72357/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72357/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72357/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72357/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72357/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72357/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72357 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/72357 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
