Redirecting on the server side?

[laredotornado]

Hello,

I'm using PHP 4.4.4. After processing some data, I'd like to redirect
to another page for further data processing. The way I'm redirecting
right now is

header("Location: next_page.php");

However, as you know this causes information to be sent to the client
before the next page is contacted. Is there a way I can go to
"next_page.php" without contacting the client?

Thanks, - Dave

You can use include() to display the contents of the page. Depending
on what you are doing on the page that is processing the data, a
flush() and ob_flush() may be required before the include call.

Thanks for your reply. The page I want to invoke accesses data from
$_REQUEST. So I wanted to call the page in this fashion

next_page.php?var1=val1&var2=val2&var3=val3

"includes" don't take query strings, if I remember correctly. Any way
to invoke the above?

Thanks, -

I think what Tyrone was getting at was that you could process the data
on your first page. Then, once that is done you can include your second
page where all of the query string variables from the first page would
be available to the include page.

You could, with a little process in the first page, call different
include pages based on what was sent to the first page.

You don't need to. Those vars are already within the scope of the
included file.

You could use full path:

<?php

include('http://www.your.domain/next_page.php?foo=bar');
exit();

?>

But as other people have already stated, your varables are available in the
included page just as well.

Unless next_page.php generates PHP, the script with this include will
only get HTML.

exit();

?>

next_page.php

<?php
if (isset($_GET['foo'])) {
echo '<?php echo $_GET[\'foo\']; ?>';
} else {
echo '<?php echo \'Not available\'; ?>';
}

Since the object was to only invisbly redirect to the page, it doesn't
matter. A real issue would be that in this case cookie and session data
would not be available in next_page.php since it's the server fetching the
page, not the client.
