header("Location: http://www.blah.com/somepage.php");

 

note: can't have any output before sending stuff to header

<?php
header("Location: /newpage.html");
die();
?>

I read about that method & it is used to redirect users when a page has been moved right??

 

This will be in the middle of my php code so users will only be redirected if certain conditions are met.

 

What exactly do you mean by no output?  I assign session variables & work with arrays etc.  What counts as output & what doesn't?  Do you mean only stuff the user will see?

yes, "stuff the user will see."

 

you can do any kind of code you want but you can't echo/print anything or have whitespaces before code tags or regular text/html/whatever etc.. before it.

// PHP code ONLY NO ECHO's OR PRINT's even in include files.

if (!$blah) {
     header("Location: somepage.php");
     exit;
}

// HTML and/or PHP code

[Jabop]

Don't forget die();

[The Little Guy]

Don't forget die();

 

exit works too
