1: HTML meta refresh tag

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="seconds;url=url here">

2: Javascript header change script

<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- window.location = "URL here" //--> </script>

3: PHP's header function.

header("Location: $url");

Can this be done without javascript, as I already have it working with javascript, but want to replace it with pure php 4 so that users without java can use the function.  I'm using a select menu to jump to another page, by the way.

Can you give an example of what you are wanting to achieve

As twostars states:

header("Location: $url");

Just make sure you don't output anything else before this function is called!

 

See this, and it's php4 compliant...

Just for the record, Javascript is not the same as Java. They are two entirely different languages.

 

Seeing as you are using a select menu there is no other way than using Javascript. This cannot be accomplished with PHP code.

oops, I didn't comprehend that bit!

Make a php file with:

$url = $_GET['url'];
header('Location: '.$url);

and then link to it like:

<a href="thatphpfile.php?url=http://www.google.com" >Link</a>

Should work.

Just realised you are using a select menu. You can use Javascript to pass the url to the php file, but if you want to get away from javascript, there is no way to do it using a select menu.

Erm, thanks for all your info.  Yeah I know java is seperate from JS I'm just lazy.

 

My Select menu is like this :

<form action="$url/php/select_url.php" method="post">
<select id='menu' onchange='submit()' name='menu'>
	<option>Jump to Product</option>
</select>
</form>

 

And papface's code works nicely.  I use a seperate php method to populate the select menu.  So as this one uses the onchange submit() <- I take it that is a javascript function and would not work, however if I use a noscript and include a submit button it will just have a button for the people not enabling JS correct?

 

If so we have a fully functional Submit menu without using any javascript, it IS possible!

[papaface]

onchange='submit()'

That <b>is</b> javascript.... lol
