[SOLVED] Redirecting to a page

[mystic_bovine]

Here's the scenario:

 

A survey that asks your birth date.  Once it figures out your age it then goes to a different page depending on your age and opens up another survey.

 

What is the best way to do this with PHP?

 

Thanks in advance

One is using the header() function. But beware of the "headers already sent" error which is explained in this sticky.

 

<?php
header('Location: somepage.php');
?>

 

Alternatively, you can use meta refresh.

 

<?php
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=somepage.php">';
?>

 

Place one of those codes directly where in your script you want the user to be redirected. To save the age of the user, you can use sessions:

 

<?php
session_start(); //start the session data
$age = $_POST['age']; //supposing this comes from an input
$_SESSION['age'] = $age; //set the session which can be used globally in all your pages
?>

Gawd. So simple.  Thanks!

 

I got stuck on the header() function.  But the meta refresh worked great.
