Dear Stephen,

In the first solution PHP creates a JavaScript and sends it via a
'normal' HTML page to the browser. If the browser has JavaScript
enabled it loads the new URL. If it is disabled, nothing happens.

In the second solution PHP sends a redirect statement with the URL to
the browser. The browser loads the new URL.

Cheers
Martin

When a browser sees header("Location whatever-is-the-value-of-$url")
it will barf because it should say header("Location: whatever-is-the-
value-of-$url").

However, supposing that you had put the correct value in the call
then, as soon as it sees the header location value, it can go off to
get the new page. With
function redirect($url)
{
echo "<script>";
echo "window.location='".$url."'";
echo "</script>";
}
it has to load your page before it can see the script to execute.

Not quite. In the second situation you should get an error because the
header is invalid. It should have a colon after Location.

Like the others already said, and keep in mind a lot more visitors to your
site will support a header redirect then a javascript redirect, for
instance searchbots. That's not to say they will all obey: just as
javascript, following redirects is left to the browser, and a lot of them
have settings to either follow or not.
