What is equivalent of forward or redirect in PHP

[FlashNewby]

Would like to know what is the equivalent of redirect or forward method in PHP. In coding jsp's you can use either to pass the request to another page. Their has to be some equivalent. Example in jps you do something like this: response.redirect or response.forward("test.html");

I need to be able to forward requests using php.

Thanks

header ("Content-Location:myfile.html");

I like to echo the meta tag redirects in html

<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0; url="blah.com"' />

[FlashNewby]

Thanks RushScripting, can you give me an example of some code not in a meta tag

Thanks

Not sure what you mean really :P If you are only wanting to use php and no html then I suggest you use λ's way. I also noticed that you live within an hour of me (I live in Fort Worth :P).

Cool! It's nice to know their are kirupa lovers nearby. Actually I'll be using it with HTML, I did manage to find another thread that showed me what I was looking for.
Happy new year in Fort Worth.

I need to use this trick too. See once I do a mail form and the user hits submit, I want to redirect to a thank you page. That possible?

Nevermind, I figured it out on my own.

I would use this:


<?php
Header ("Location: http://your-url.com/pagetoredirectto.html");
?>

I would use om3ga's too. It's the proper way of forwarding right off the server :)

<?php
echo "
<script language=\"javascript\">
<!--

location.replace(\"http://www.kirupa.com\");

-->
</script>";
?>


works as well.



<?php
function redirect($url)
{
echo "
<script language=\"javascript\">
<!--

location.replace(\"$url\");

-->
</script>";
}
redirect("http://www.kirupa.com");
?>
