PHP redirect?

[bluetrance05]

I'm new to PHP scripting and currently learning how to make one. Unfortunately I don't know how make a PHP script about page redirect. Still trying to figure out on how to redirect to a different page in case that the page I'm trying to access no longer exist. Any tips?

<?php
    //Redirect to new page
    header('Location: http://www.domain.tld/new-page.php');
?>

Hello Ioulios,

Thank you for the code. Also, can you please let me know that how to add a notification so that the users can be notified that they would be redirected to an another page so that they can change their bookmark for the new page.

PHP Code:

<?php 
    //Redirect Message
    echo "You will be automatically redirected to a new location.<br>\n";
    echo "If your browser does not redirect you in 10 seconds, or you do not wish to wait, <a href=\"http://www.domain.tld/new-page.php\">click here</a>.\n";
    //Redirect to new page 
    header('Refresh: 10; URL=http://www.domain.tld/new-page.php'); 
?>

or

PHP Code:

<?php 
    //Redirect Message
    echo "You will be automatically redirected to a new location.<br>\n";
    echo "If your browser does not redirect you in 10 seconds, or you do not wish to wait, <a href=\"http://www.domain.tld/new-page.php\">click here</a>.\n";
    //Redirect to new page 
    $start = time();
    $end = $start + 10;
    while (time() < $end) {
        header('Location: http://www.domain.tld/new-page.php');
    }
    exit();
?>

You probably already know this, but you can also put HTML in the redirect message, between the quotation marks. That way you're able to spruce up the redirect page a little - I hate seeing plain white pages with Times New Roman. ;)

The above code may return errors, when using a header function after any blank spaces, black lines or html code. If you do experience any header errors, use:

PHP Code:

<?php
   ob_start();
      //Redirect Message
    echo "You will be automatically redirected to a new location.<br>\n";
    echo "If your browser does not redirect you in 10 seconds, or you do not wish to wait, <a href=\"http://www.domain.tld/new-page.php\">click here</a>.\n";
    //Redirect to new page 
    $start = time();
    $end = $start + 10;
    while (time() < $end) {
        header('Location: http://www.domain.tld/new-page.php');
    }
    exit();
   ob_flush();
?>
