[PHP] clearing new pages

2004-05-26 Thread michael young 
Hi,
a file called a.php prints hello to the browser then calls b.php 
which prints goodbye to the browser.
the output looks like this:

hello
goodbye
how do I clear the screen so the end results looks like this:
goodbye

Thank you for your help.
This should do nicely.

This is a common problem for people coming from other languages where the
file structures are the same as the execution structure.  A few of at least
50 answers is as follows;
Force the browser to invoke your next program;
If(1==a) {
header(Location: this.php);
 exit;  //stop this script
}
If(1==b) {
 header(Location: that.php);
exit;
}
If(1==c) {
header(Location: other.php);
}
Another option would be to take advantage of conditional includes to bring
the code into the current script;
If(1==a) {
   include(this.php);
   exit;
}
If(1==b) {
include(that.php);
exit;
}
If(1==c) {
include(other.php);
}
Include will issue a warning if executed and the file does not exist.
Require is fatal if executed and the file does not exist.
You can, of course use;
if(file_exists(this.php)) include(this.php); 

to suppress any warning at all.

Subject: [PHP] How to make program execution go to another file?

Hi,
  I want program execution to go to one of several other files 
based on a decision.
For Example.

if (1==a)
  go to this .php file
if (1==b)
  go to that .php file
if (1==c)
  go to the other .php file
Thank you for your time.
