lets say i have a webform and after all the information is done, i dont want to put a link on the page that says click here to continue but instead just redirect the user.
there are three ways you can do this, you can do it with javascrip or html or php
today im gonna show you with php, why php, because its server side scripting..
lets say i want to send all my users back to the main page this is what i would use:
header('Location: http://www.wallpaperama.com');
this will automatically send the user to our main page
just make sure that you dont send any html or text to the user's browse or put any html code before this fucntion
the following would create an error:
<html>
<?php
/* This will give an error. Note the output
* above, which is before the header() call */
header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
?>
header() is used to send a raw HTTP header. See the » HTTP/1.1 specification for more information on HTTP headers.
Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent, either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP. It is a very common error to read code with include(), or require(), functions, or another file access function, and have spaces or empty lines that are output before header() is called. The same problem exists when using a single PHP/HTML file.
for more information about this, you can visit the php manual
