HTTP2::redirect

HTTP2::redirect – redirects the client

Synopsis

require_once 'HTTP2.php';

void HTTP2::redirect ( string url )

Description

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

Example

Redirecting to another site


<?php
require_once 'HTTP2.php';
$http = new HTTP2();
$http->redirect("http://example.com/");
?>

Local redirect


<?php
require_once 'HTTP.php';
$http = new HTTP2();
$http->redirect("/foo.php");
?>

This will redirect the client to /foo.php. The method will take care of adding the right hostname as required by RFC 2616.

Parameter

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

Note

This function can not 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.
