Re: [PHP] redirection to another page function
One thing that doesn't seem to have been considered is the use of the refresh meta tag. Whilst it depends on whether or not the browser is archaic (and let's face it, most people nowadays seem to be running at least version 4 of either IE or Netscape), it's something that can't be turned off (at least to my knowledge, I could be wrong) and workarounds can be supplied for instances when the browser doesn't accept the tag. This doesn't hinder programming too much, as you don't have to worry about sending output after headers, nor whether or not the browser has javascript enabled. Personally, I prefer to use the header() function, and it's ages since I've used this meta tag, though it's worth keeping in mind that old techniques can still be useful ;) META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT=1;url=page.php James. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [PHP] redirection to another page function
Is there any PHP native function to redirect to another page or URL?
No, because you can only redirect a browser to another page using the
appropriate HTTP command (it is a header) or JavaScript.
I would like that once the user clicks on home.php4 and a few
verifications are done, he/she would be redirected to home.html.
You can issue a HTTP redirection command to the web browser by using
PHP's Header() function. You'll want to use this kind of code:
?
Header("Location:
http://this.is.the.destination.com/directory/file.php");
?

I never had any trouble using header() to redirect, but wouldn't something
like this work even better (without worring about previous outputs)??
function redirect($dest)
{
?
script language="JavaScript"
parent.location.href='?=$dest?';
/script
?
}
it would work wouldn't it?

In Netscape:
Menu Edit Preferences Advanced
[ ] Enable Javascript
^
Not ticked
Oops. I just broke that redirection. :)
Yeah... I know that... but, c'mon... a browser that doesn't support
Javascript can't surf trough at least 30% of all websites... it's the
absolute minority. Netscape itself is a minority.

That's not the point. You should be writing the code such that you shouldn't need to make this kind of argument, at least for a simple HTTP-related issue anyway. JavaScript syntax / functionality perhaps, HTTP commands no. Why do with JavaScript what you can do without?

Yeah... I know what you and Jason mean.
I justed pointed out that it could work nicely... and I just tought of
that... I user header("location: ... ") on all my scripts and struggle to
put them before any output (that's not easy)...
I work on a e-commerce website (coding in ASP, but what can I do?) with
lots of JavaScript calls that in some cases are the heart of the operation,
and we never had any trouble or complaints with it.
I know that, the best way is to get your script running anywhere regardless
of what browser or OS people use, but is important too to use as much of
the technology as you can. Like HTML capable clients... in a recent pass,
that was a nightmare cuz half the people used the most outdated email
clients, but nowadays, almost every spam or corporate email I get, is HTML,
people who don't have HTML capable clients, hurry to get them. I won't even
get started with "noframesYour browser isn't frames capable/noframes",
hehe. Javascipt is almost a standard and it is a great help in many cases
where server-side simply won't do the job. I don't know... I'm just
thinking here... maybe its all BS! :)

While I do utilise some javascript niceties in some of my work, I usually
only do it either when a) its an internal sytsem here at work and I know
everyone has the same system/software/setup or b) where its only an
enhancement and it wont affect the usability of the system if its not
there. Ill always try and use PHP and server side solutions before
resorting to client side solutions
that's a better way to think about it...
Altough... I still think that URL redirection should be something easier to
do... as it is something very usefull and very basic, if u think in the
concepts of WWW and surfing... going from one page to another is almost a
primitive... u know where I'm getting at?

Re: [PHP] redirection to another page function
use the javascript function, but also use as backup plan such as a link at
the bottom or even code at the top like this:
///
if (conditionals == true) {
header(location:home.html);
}
//
that way it will get through for most all browsers if not all browsers
