How to Redirect to Another Page Using PHP

How to redirect to another page using PHP

That's the problem. I've outputted a bunch of information (including the HTML to build the login page itself). So how do I redirect the user from one page to the next?

This means your application design is pretty broken. You shouldn't be doing output while your business logic is running. Go an use a template engine (like Smarty) or quickfix it by using output buffering).

Another option (not a good one though!) would be outputting JavaScript to redirect:

<script type="text/javascript">location.href = 'newurl';</script>

This will work if you haven't written anything on the page yet:

header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/new_page.html' ) ;

If you have, you'll have to use javascript for redirection:

<script>window.location.href = "http://www.yoursite.com/new_page.html";</script>
