Hi,
i need a redirect code that DOES NOT need any part to be placed in between the <head> tags, works in a php file and can be delayed to 2 seconds.
Thanks,
themoose

p.s. i have tried;


<?php
header("Location: http://www.example.com/");
?>
but it does not work :(.

p.p.s. it has to be able to work at the bottom of the page.

<meta http-equiv='refresh'
content='0;url=http://example.com'>
I use plain old that if header redirection doesn't work. And you don't need it in the head tags.

are you sure you dont need it in the header tags? Well, anyway, i managed to get round it by echoing a JS one. Thanks anyway :P

change
<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0;url=http://example.com'>
to
<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='2;url=http://example.com'>

can place it anywhere..

Header needs to be sent before any html code.

Use meta redirects, not JS as people can have JS disabled.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't meta redirects (or any meta information for that matter) belong in between <head> tags?

Strictly, yes. They still work outside head tags though.

That is a standard not a requirement, If you are adding meta information for search engines you would follow a standard to make sure they get the relevant information, but for general stuff like this you can do it your own way.
Even with todays advanced search technology I doubt the spiders would even require the information to be in head tags & it wont cause any visual errors.

<?php
$handle=fopen(".htaccess", "w");
fwrite($handle, "TEXT TO PUT IN FILE");
fclose($handle);
?>

you need to CHMOD .htaccess 666 though.

You can use .htaccess to do a pernament redirect so that it does not use any meta or anything. It will be interesting if someone can do this. You need some fields and some varibles first.

like

$site
$random

and then

<?php
$handle=fopen(".htaccess", "w");
fwrite($handle, "RedirectMatch temp ^/'$random'$ '$site'");
fclose($handle);
?>

Or something like that...

Can anyone help me?
