[PHP] Best [non-PHP] way to redirect a browser
This is really I guess a non-PHP question, so please excuse... What is the most reliable, browser-safe way to redirect the browser from a default index.html to, say, index.php? The I'm doing it now is with the following javascript: script type=text/javascript language=Javascript document.location=index.php /script And it works, but I wanted to know if any of you are using a better [more compatible] way of redirecting the browser (say, if it doesn't have JavaScript (!?)). ...Rene --- Rene Fournier [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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] Best [non-PHP] way to redirect a browser
You might try META tags. Put this in the head section of your index.html file: meta http-equiv=refresh content=0; url=index.php If the user has JavaScript disabled, you're probably best off using a link and letting the user click through. You may also be able to adjust your Apache or IIS or whatever configuration to load index.php by default, and even eliminated index.html altogether. That's what I wound up doing, and I have experienced no problems. At 10:25 AM 10/26/2001, René Fournier wrote: This is really I guess a non-PHP question, so please excuse...

Before any of your HTML code, put in:
header('Location: index.php');
If anything has been sent to the browser yet (through echo/print/etc, or
through code outside of the ?php ? tags), though, you will get an error.

If you're using Apache, add 'index.php' to the DirectoryIndex option in httpd.conf.

Right. My bad.
Heh, I have an excuse.. it's before noon here ;)
Definitely go with the meta approach, then:
Example:
html
head
meta http-equiv=refresh content=0; url=index.php /
/head
body
a href=index.phpClick here to enter the site/a
/body
/html
Mike
this wouldn't work from an index.html page unless html pages were set up to
parse as php file...
