Step By Step Guide On Redirect To Another Page In PHP :-

For redirect to another page in php we need to use header function. The header function in PHP can be used to redirect the user from one page to another.

It contains redirection location address and within header function we need to mention the destination path. We can give path contain either file or websites anything available.

<?php
header("location:https://www.gmail.com/");
?>

1. A php script can be placed anywhere in the document. A php script starts with <?php and end with ?>.
2. The default file extension for php files is “.php” and php statements end with ‘;’ semicolon.
3. As we see header function defined for redirection and here we used destination address as ‘www.gmail.com’.
4. Before the destination address must specify ‘location’ because its response that indicates the URL is used for redirect a page to.
5. This website always available on browsers and when you need to see the result internet connection is must, otherwise it’s not load.
6. Basically there are two types of header calls. One is start with “HTTP/” string used to figure out the HTTP status code to send.
7. Another one is the ‘Location’ which is mandatory and then ‘replace’ is optional which indicates whether header should add a second header or replace previous.
8. Mostly this method used at user interaction page like login, logout or information gathering pages. After getting user details when user clicks on submit button it redirect to the home page of website in this method we can check whether that user is valid person or not.
9. Those websites only allow for access any process on that website, when the user is entered valid information.
