After form submission or a page redirect is triggered, it's commonplace to redirect the user to a different page or to the same page, formatted in a different way. Usually, you'd complete this by coding:

header('Location:  destination.php');
exit();

This is a completely acceptable way to code your pages, but I prefer to use a redirect function instead. Why? It's much more readable, and quite honestly, I'm tired of writing the header('Location: …') code.

function redirect($url,$permanent = false)
{
    if($permanent)
    {
        header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
    }
    header('Location: '.$url);
    exit();
}

You can redirect your PHP page via following methods:

  1. By Using Java script:
    '; echo 'window.location.href="'.$filename.'";'; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; } } redirect('http:// '); ?>

  2. By Using php function: header ("Location: http:// ");
