I got code that needs a page to get redirected. Its a self submitting form. Is there any way to redirect without using header, since after the form is processed, headers will already have been sent

thx.

If you don't want to send a header, then you'll have to use Javascript and/or meta-refresh. Best to use both incase someone doesn't support one or the other.

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="4;http://www.newpage.com/">
    <script language="javascript">
        setTimeout("window.location='http://www.newpage.com/'", 4000);
    </script>
</head>
<body>
<div style="text-align:center; font: bold 12pt Arial, sans-seirf;">Redirecting...</div>
</body>
</html>

or if you have to use php code, just echo it:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

if($something == "whatever"){

     

    echo '<script language="javascript">

                  document.location = \'bahbahbah\';

            </script>

            <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=bahbahbah">

            ';

}



else{

 //do something

}

?>

U java script is better to redirect a page instread of PHP header

but u should keep mind

HTML Code:

<script>
document.location=""; //is not good way
//use
location="ur page";
</script>

I have tested in all platform that this document.location has some problem
but use only location it works fine

tsk. document.location wouldn't be a good way - you need window.location.href
Tsk! I say again...
