[web] php redirection
Author
I need to redirect the page once the user logs in, at the moment I'm using
<?
if($redirect == true)
echo("<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='5;url='index.php?page=home'>");
?>
The problem is that it just refreshs the login.php page. Are there any better ways of getting it to redirect?
Also how to you link to other pages with the <button> tag?

have you tried the "header"-command?
e.g. header(Location:index.php?page=home);
put there may not be any output before it, like an "echo" or something.
if i would like to link with a button, i'd try a small form with action=target.php without anything but a submit-button.
e.g. header(Location:index.php?page=home);

Yeah I tried
if($redirect == true)
header("Location:index.php?page=home");
but it said cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (header.php in login.php on line 31.

header("Location:index.php?page=home");

when you submit your login form you after you check to see if the login was valid and before you output anything to the browser ie. <html><head> etc..
you can do that header() or meta refresh tag.
as for a "button" without a form you can do something like:
<input type="button" value="Some Link" onClick="window.location.href='http://www.google.com'" />
or with a form using:
<form method="link" action="somepage.html">
<input type="submit" value="Some Link" />
</form>

You should probably use output buffering. It's generally a useful thing, and it prevents errors like this.
This is a PHP function I wrote, which I use on almost all PHP sites I work on.
function Redirect($whereTo) { if (empty($whereTo) || !is_string($whereTo)) $whereTo = $links['error']['pageFail']; // Change this to your own error page URL if (!headers_sent()) header('location: '. $whereTo); else { ?> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><br> document.href.location = '<?php echo $whereTo ?>';<br> </script><br> <?php<br> }<br> die();<br> }<br></pre>Quote:Original post by namingway

The reason the login page is getting refreshed is that this content='5;url=' is what is in your content tag. Remove the quote that follows the url= and it will work properly.
