redirect?!?!?

[bethan81]

Hi i am wondering if anybody knows how to redirect a user to another page if a
statement returns true? Here is the code, I am using PHP:

// check if database has content
if ($totalRows_login != 1)
{
echo'you are not logged in';
}
else{
echo ("addimage.php"); // clearly wrong, but how would i go about redirecting
the user to another page?
}

any help would be great

You could try this, it uses the header function.

header("Location: $url");
exit;

where $url has to be an absolute address. You can use a predefined
variable to build it, e.g.

header("Location: http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]/yourpage.html");
exit;

The Location header requires an absolute address, so the code on that
page is wrong. Additionally after setting the header the script should
be terminated using exit;, otherwise it will continue to run.
