how to redirect from php page

[Anonymous]

hi, is there a way to redirect to a different page from a php page? for example. i want a user after log into my website, check the user password and so on, if it correct, i want to redirect to a different correct page, if the user and password is wrong, then i redirect to error page and so on. is there a way to redirect a page or load other page from a php page without using <meta > tag?

Thanks

yes, that's possible.

header("Location: script2.php?password=xxxxx");

that will not work if you already have sent a header information or some (echo/print) - text...

||EDIT:
another way:

if ($password == "example") include("rightpw.php");
else include("falsepw.php");

Another way to redirect the user is to use a meta header

You are bein redirected, if your browser does not support meta redirection then click here

eg.

echo ("<meta htt-equiv='refresh' content='3; newpage.php'>");

Just include the above code into your

Remember on the file where the correct password has taken them - To check they are authorised to view that page.
