Re: Redirect

Not sure exactly what you are asking, but in PHP redirection can be done as follows:

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<?php
header("Location:http://www.somesite.com");
?>
<?php
header("Location:http://www.somesite.com");
?>

and Meta:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url=http://www.somesite.com">

this goes in the <head> tag

Re: Redirect

You can either echo the HTML tags echo "<some_tag>html</some_tag>"; If you do this the remember to escape your quotes with \s

Or another way:

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<?php
// Some PHP code
?>
some HTML code
<?php
// Some more PHP code
?>
<?php
// Some PHP code
?>
some HTML code
<?php
// Some more PHP code
?>

Very true. You can't send header information (thats where you're redirecting) after outputting anything. All you could do is put your meta tags after the redirection code. That would be useless though, because your program will never get to this point.
