>From what I know - If you use the HTML equivelant, - you are hoping
that the persons browser will correctly interpret the command &
re-direct the page....
Doing it in PHP - The command is sent before any HTML output, & the
actual Server re-directs the person.... - Before it (HTML) gets to the
persons browser / screen...
Therefore (of little I know of this) - I think it works well..
BUT - To be sure - You might want to do this :- (i'll assume you have
put the header command in an IF statement - When a certain condition
is met...)
header("refresh: 0; url=http://www.website.com/page1.php";);
echo "<HTML>
<BODY>
<FONT COLOR='red'>Error</FONT>
<BR><BR>
Please click <A HREF='http://www.website.com/page1.php'>this link</A>
to contrinue.
<BR><BR>
</BODY></HTML>\n";
exit;
(change the text as necessary...)
For anyone that isnt re-directed - It will show the text / link - to
continue....
