Subject: [PHP] Branching to a page


Back in the earlier days of PHP, pages were not cached so I developed a 
method of branching to a page by opening a new socket.  Since it has 
worked over the years in quite a variety of applications, I have not 
changed...but maybe I should.  Are there any glaring deficiencies with 
doing this:

  // Verify the Session ID
  if ($session_id) {
  ...
  } else {
bounce_post($server, $path, $url, abort.php, );
exit;
  }

Where bounce is defined as

  function bounce_post($server, $path, $url, $page, $info) {
$http = new http;

$fp = $http-http_fpost($server, $path . $page, $info);
if($fp) {
  print 'BASE HREF=' . $url . $page . 'p';
  fpassthru($fp);
};
  }

Re: [PHP] Branching to a page

Just send a redirect header.

header(Location: nextpage.php);
exit;

I open a socket if I am in the middle of a php script to branch to a
page so that I can send the header information.  However, I understand
that this is not how most php programmers do it.  Could someone share
with me the way it is done with php?

In more detail, this is how I structure a page:

1) The Form calls itself - the same page.

2) At the top of the page, I do my validation and I may check to see if
a Cancel button was pressed.

3) Depending on the circumstances, I branch to another page.

   /* Example: was the Cancel button pressed?
  If so, branch to redirect page */
   if (!empty($cancel)) {
 $http = new http;
 $fp = $http-http_fget($server, $path .
 redirect.php,);
 if($fp) {
   print 'BASE HREF=' . $url .
   'redirect.phpp';
   fpassthru($fp);
   exit;
 }
   }

Many thanks.
