How can I redirect a page with PHP?

With credits to mr.maX.

Adjust the code below to suit your needs.

<?php

header("Refresh: 3; URL=/index.phpnn");

echo " "; // NN4 requires that we output something...

exit();

?>

If you didn't want a timed redirect then you could use this:

header("Location: ADDRESS");

Make sure that you do not output to the browser before you perform the redirection. Your attempt at redirection will fail if you output anything with a message similar to

quote:

---

Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started .....)

---

This means that the redirection must be found before any HTML code.
This includes newlines in any includes you may have, or newlines before the first <?php.
