| | PHP RedirectWritten by Sanjib Ahmad
A PHP Redirect automatically transfers a web user from one URL to another. For example, typing foo.com in browser automatically transfers user to another URL bar.com.The PHP Redirect command: <?php header("location: [some-url]"); ?> Replace [some-url] with URL where you want redirection to take place. For example, header("location: ./version2/index.html"); =>redirect to "index.html" page in subfolder called "version2" header("location: http://www.yahoo.com"); =>redirect to a website called yahoo.com If PHP is not available, it's also possible to use other redirects: * HTTP Redirects <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="[time]; URL=[some-url]"> Replace [time] with seconds. This will pause browser for specified number of seconds. Replace [some-url] with target URL you want to redirect. For example, <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; URL=http://www.yahoo.com"> The above HTTP based redirect needs to be in <header></header> region of HTML code.
