Forward a page using PHP

Submitted by Rollie Hawk on Mon, 2005-11-14 19:27.

Often, forwarding web pages is done with .htaccess. But sometimes you don't want to mess with editing .htaccess (or you may not have access to it). You can do HTML forwarding, but PHP allows you to use a more transparent method (and you'd like to retain referrer information). Just edit the code below and add it to the page in question.

<?php
  header("Location: http://domain.tld/page.php");
?>
