How do I redirect after loading page content?

[Kevin Audleman]

I understand how to use the header command to redirect a page before
any HTML has been loaded.However, I need to redirect after some HTML
has already been loaded. is there a command that will allow me to do
this?

Thanks,
Kevin

Not in PHP. You can use Javascript, however.

Kevin,

No - it's not PHP, but the HTTP protocol which prohibits it. You can
send a redirect, or you can send a page. But you can't send both.

But why would you want to? If you could redirect after sending
something, your users wouldn't seen the contents of the first page.

Rather, you should decide if you need to redirect before sending any
output, then take the appropriate action.

You can DELAY the redirect, however. I get the feeling that you want to
display a "Redirectin g, please wait" type message, which can display
after the redirect info has been sent.

Thanks, it helps to understand the protocols. I'm working with a CMS
and the place where I hook my code in is after some of the HTML has
been output. That's why I just wanted to redirect. However sounds like
I'll have to look more under the hood and find the appropriate place
to put my code.

Kevin, I'm guessing here, but I think you mean that you want to insert php
content or testing into the html area. This can be done. In that area
where you want it done type:

<?php whatever_you_wa nt_done ?>

Hope that is what you really meant and that it helps you. Note: This will
still be done at the server and an html page passed to the browser.
