Re: [PHP] A faster way to Redirect pages

[Pete James]

header(), session_start(), etc. can go anywhere in a page (after any 
content) as long as you start the page using output buffering 
(ob_start()).  Example (bad example) follows:

<?php

ob_start()
print this;
print that;
if ($forgot)
{
  // oops need to redirect
  header('Location: foo.php');
}
print this;
print that;
if ($forgot_again)
{
  // need session
  session_start();
}
etc.

Just clarifying a little.

The header() function doesn't necessarily go at the top. You can make whatever operations you need, but as long as nothing is echoed to the browser, there's no problem.

I mean:

<?
// Query to a database...
//Real long process...

header("Location: yournewpage.php?arg1=val1");
exit;
?>

Kelvin,

You can use
<?
header("Location:login.php");
exit;
?>
If you want to do it with PHP. You have to put it at the top of the 
file, since no other information can be sent before the 
Location header.

Hi,

I know this topic was discussed but I deleted my previous 
mail so I can't go

back and review them.  My question is, is there a faster way 
to redirect

html pages other than just using  <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" 
CONTENT="1;

URL=login.php"> ?  Is there any way we can do that in php so that it
redirect "FASTER"?  Right now I set the redirect time to be 
1 sec, but for

some reason it still takes kind of long until it actually 
redirects, I was

wondering if there is any other way I can do this faster.

THanks a lot everyone,

Kelvin
