You're missing the point of what Chris is saying.
meta http-equiv=refresh content=10;URL=http://example.org/;
and
header('Refresh: 10;URL=http://example.org/');
are both doing the same thing just in different ways. The http-equiv
meta tag was created to allow static HTML pages to specify HTTP headers.
With PHP you don't need to use that, you can actually send the browser
the actual header. IMHO it's a better way to do it, but I can't actually
see a reason why I feel that way.

For example if you visit a site that uses worldpay as a payment service provider you will see their banner on the thank you page after payment is made. In such cases the header functions will not work because it's too late to send them. In case this wasn't clear, I can elaborate... Let's use some fake domains: 1. payment.org - the payment processor 2. yoursite.org - your Web site As a user, I want to buy something from yoursite.org, and you use a payment processor for this purpose. I click a link from your site to theirs, so http://payment.org/... is displayed in my browser. I enter some credit card ifnormation, and click the button, and this happens: 1. payment.org verifies my information, charges my credit card, etc. 2. payment.org sends an HTTP request (typically a POST) to a URL at yoursite.org, where you receive payment notifications. You make the output of this page appropriate for the end user. 3. payment.org displays the output of your page to the user. So, after I (the user) click the submit button, I see a thank you page of some sort that was generated by yoursite.org. However, my browser still shows that I am on payment.org's Web site. To recap, payment.org is playing the role of a Web client (browser, for example) when communicating with yoursite.org's payment notification page. It uses the output of this page (the HTTP content) to use when it communicates back to the user, at which time it is playing the more typical role of a Web server. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure. To be clear, you're saying that the following two things do
not behave the same for you:
header('Refresh: ...');
meta http-equiv=Refresh ...
Is this right? I suspect that you might be comparing these instead:
header('Location: ...');
meta http-equiv=Refresh ...
If this is the case, the difference in behavior is due to:
1. Different headers.
2. Different response status codes (setting a Location header also changes
the status code from 200 to 302).
If this is not the case, I'm honestly not sure why the behavior would be
any different, since browsers that support http-equiv are supposed to
interpret these exactly as if they were real headers.
Hope that helps.

Learning about HTTP protocol helps a LOT with understanding headers. Basically, the headers are generated by the server to tell the client (browser) what to do.

A lot of places in Canada use MS based web servers and I think PHP is mostly
Unix-centric. :-)
A lot of applications are only for Windows so a lot of places make the choice to go
for Windows web servers.
They end up buying an MS solution and most everyone who sells MS solutions is pushing
ASP.
I'm not an integrator but this is the way it seems to me.

Re: [PHP] PHP Redirect in the middle of code?
Right off the top of my head, you have three options that I can see: (1) Rewrite the code to avoid any output before the redirect. (2) Use output buffering (available only in PHP4). I haven't used this, but check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php (3) Use a META REFRESH tag. For example: META HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT=1;page.php where 1 is the time (in seconds) before you want the redirect, and 'page.php' is where you want the redirect to. Of course, this tag needs to be in the HEAD section, so it might not help you much. As far as I know, though, cold fusion's cflocation tag only works because CF does output buffering implicitly. So, I'd guess you need to do option (2). -steve At 10:37 AM -0400 9/10/01, Andrew Penniman wrote: I am trying to figure out how to use PHP to redirect the user to a new location *after* processing and most likely outputting a bunch of code.

Me too, I can't think of a valid reason to use a Location header while
having output also as the user will only have about .0002 seconds to
read the output before being redirected.
if ($foo == 'example') { // I'm not output
header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
exit;
}
is perfectly valid. Now, why would someone need to do :
if ($foo == 'example') {
echo 'Hope you find example.com pleasing, have fun!';
header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
exit;
}
If such an announcement is needed, using html Meta Refresh tag works as
one can also implement the delay (some of our users are slow readers :).
Also, headers_sent() can be useful. I'd personally avoid output buffering
for this.

Philip Olson

I am trying to figure out how to use PHP to redirect the user to a new location *after* processing and most likely outputting a bunch of code. Because this redirection would happen late in the game I can't use header(Location: .$redirect_to); You should probably look at ouput buffering; the php manual has a section on the subject at http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php and Zeev Suraski wrote an article at Zend http://zend.com/zend/art/buffering.php -robin -- 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] -- _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Michael Seely 408-777-9949
