Redirecting within a page

[rachelk]

I wanted to know if it were possible to have something like this halfway down a page:

 

if { *something* }

else { *redirect to another page*}

 

Everything I've found requires the redirect to be at the very top of the page.. is it possible to have it within a page?

 

Any help much appreciated!

you can try javascript:

$goto = '/file.php'; 
echo <<<END 
<script language="javascript"><!-- 
window.location='$goto'; 
//--></script> 
END;  

 

or try the ob_start method using if

(must be first line in file)

ob_start
if ($var1=val1){
header(location .....
}else{
header(location.....
}

Is there a reason that you need to write to the page before you process the if statement.

 

I would put the processing part of the file at the top, and put the displaying part at the bottom. You can use a header() function anywhere as long as you havent written anything to the page first. Doesnt need to be at the top if it is only php processing before it.
