try like this

echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"1; URL=/newyear/all.html\">";

if you wrote the code as you did in your post, then your missing the second apostrophe:

header('Location: ./newyear/gift.php');

 

if you did type it correctly within your code, then what errors do you recieve (if any)

 

and what is your entire code for the login submit page?

[chennaibala]

it not redirecting.it saying The page cannot be found..http 404 error.actually gift.php is present in newyear folder.

[jacko310592]

how are your directory paths structured?, am i correct in thinking the two file paths go as follows...

RootDir/login.php

RootDir/newyear/gift.php

if they do go like this then i am not sure why your recieving a 404 error

 

 

 

BUT, if your directories go somthing like this...

RootDir/someDir/login.php

RootDir/someDir/newyear/gift.php

 

then you need to remember to add a dot before the forward slash within the header code to make sure its looking for the redirect page from the current directory and not the root directory:

header('Location: ./newyear/gift.php');

yes..i did..still not redirecting..

[Deoctor]

yes..i did..still not redirecting..

 

use ur redirection like this

echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"1; URL=./newyear/gift.php\">";

 

it should work if the gift.php is there in that folder.

<?php
$file = 'newyear/gift.php';
$count = 0;
while(!file_exists($file) && $count <= 100){
$crumbs = '../';
$file = $crumbs.$file;
$count++;
}
header('Location: '.$file);
?>

 

That should do it
