There is no
navigate function for the window object. Maybe try something like:<?php
function reDirect($page)
{
$s = "<script language = 'javascript'>
window.location.href = '$page';
</script>";
return $s;

You could just use a meta command (like this):
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="##; *.html" />
where ## is a number of how long to keep the visitor here until the *.html where * is the name of the page is there. In other words, it simply redirects a user to another page.
history.go(0) also works and refreshes the page, but doesn't redirect.
so window.location.href="*" is the best to try.
another way is location.href which omits the 'window.' part of it
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="##; *.html" />

Unless there is a specific need for using javascript, you could redirect the browser using HTTP headers.

Isn't the die function the same as the exit function? Also, you can put a message to show people that the program is exiting
such as:
exit ('The program is exiting')
and
die ('The program is dying')
such as:
exit ('The program is exiting')
and
die ('The program is dying')
I give people ideas, not answers.
It's a common answer.
That's a idea to think on.

I believe they are the same.
The user would never see the message however under normal circumstances.
Its always good to add a bit of HTML explaining whats happening however, and add the JS that will redirect in case the browser fails to do a HTTP redirect.

The W3C actually recommends against the use of such tricks for redirection. If Javascript is not a must, Digital Ether's suggestion seems good enough.
