Question

Answer 1

+6 A:

Try using the header function.

header("Location: $url");

Ensure that it comes before any other output, mind you.

Specifically, output that header if the login succeeds.

Note that the `Location` header must be an absolute url. So `header("Location: http://www.example.com/user/home.php")`

Darn it... that is supposed to be including the `http://` protocol and the `www.` subdomain.

Blixt 2009-07-14 16:02:52

nope, it doesn't./example.php is enough.

Don't rely on it. Some browsers implement it, but here's the actual standard definition: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.30

Answer 2

+1 A:

Or, the 'techless' solution:

<html>
<head>
    <title>Redirecting...</title>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=newpage.php">
</head>
<body>
    You are being automatically redirected to a new location.<br />
    If your browser does not redirect you in few seconds, or you do
    not wish to wait, <a href="newpage.php">click here</a>. 
</body>
</html>

See Here.

Ideally, output both at the same time. If the browser for some reason ignores the `Location` header, it will still get this page.

Blixt 2009-07-14 16:04:18

Yes, using the location and the meta both will give the best affidability: just last years some browsers dont follow the location, and some other the meta (i remember that safari, for example, didnt take correctly the meta way if the tag was written capitalized)
