How in a PHP script do I redirect to another page?
I tried header, but this didn't work since before my header() statement is an echo.
This, I do not want to use:
echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='1;URL=?".$link."'>";

1Why would you want to do an echo if you redirect the user anyway? You could just put the header() at the very beginning.Ham Vocke– Ham Vocke2010-07-02 06:34:16 +00:00Commented Jul 2, 2010 at 6:34

- Use ob_start() to delay the printing, and use header(), or
- Redirect using Javascript, this can be done anywhere in the page, or
- Rewrite your code so that you know early on, before anything is printed, whether you want a redirect.

You would want to do the following:
header('Location: http://www.someURL.com');
But this must be done before anything is dropped to the output steam. Also you would not want to use
echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='1;URL=?".$link."'>";
As it would force the browser to reload your page, effectively rendering it useless if the user is trying to click a link or type something just as it refreshes.
