Hi Mr. Lerdorf,
I look forward to you upcoming O'Reilly PHP book. =)
Yes, a META tag refresh or Javascript control seems to be the only way left.
Strange that URL redirection is so unusual to implement in PHP compared to
ASP or Coldfusion (unless they do something klunky under the hood).
Anyway, I also noticed that when the manual says you cannot output ANYTHING,
I found out that if I close out all my spaces in the PHP page by tightening
the php container tags, I will not output anything first. I forgot that
even whitespace would be considered a web page and would generate http
headers (since the PHP processor probably translates whitespace as
echo/print statements).
Thanks.
