HTTP::redirect

Description

This function redirects the client. This is done by issuing a Location: header and exiting.

Example

<?php
require_once 'HTTP.php';

HTTP::redirect("http://example.com/");
?>

<?php
require_once 'HTTP.php';

HTTP::redirect("/foo.php");
?>

Parameter

• string $url - the new URL, where to client should be redirected to.

Note

This function can be called statically.

Avoid sending any kind of data to the client before calling redirect().

The location header requires an absolute URL. If not given, redirect() tries to build one from $url. So if the redirect fails, set the absolute URL manually as argument.
