One script passing control to the other?

[Pawel Halastra FrT]

Elo,
I'm having a terrible trouble with a simple, as I think, issue. I need
to stop my script in the middle of proccesing, and, simultanously, start
a new script. The idea is not to sent any output to web browser before
the second script is done. Typical scenario should goes like this:
- script a.php ends its execution with some error, instead of sending
its output to the browser, a.php passes control to b.php
- output is being cleared, script b.php renders it from scratch, then
sends back to the browser

Is it possible (like in ASP.NET lets say - Server.Redirect())?

Many thanks for help!

header('Location: b.php');

Thanks, but this is totally not what I'm looking for.

header('Location: b.php') will send back the output to the browser, then
the browser will require "b.php", so unnecesary post-back is performed.

Well, unless there are fatal errors in a.php, use the output buffering
functions (ob_start() in a.php, ob_end_clean() in b.php).

When there are fatal errors in a.php it's somewhat trickier. You might want
to use set_error_handler() for this one, but be very sure what you're
doing. It will still not be able to catch every error though...

Road on ob_start, ob_flush, ob_clean..... and ob related function.
I often redirect my script as well, but I do it simply by including that
file.

Example:
if(!@statement a) {
include('b.php');
exit();
}

PS: BTW the @ sign is to suppress the error msg. And bare in mind that
this is a simple
example. There are more better way to handle error.
