Execute PHP code then redirect to another page

[freddo9]

I have a php page executing some code. When the code has finished I want it to redirect to another page.

If I use
php code ....
then
header("location: new page");
The page redirects straight away without executing the code first.

THanks freddo

freddo9, a warm welcome to Webmaster World. :)

Can you post some more of your code, so we can see what it is you are trying to achieve?

Hi Dreamcatcher

The php code opens and reads the contents of a text file then writes it with changes to another file.

When this is done I want to immediately open another web page closing the current one.

Well, the header function should do the trick if you are using it correctly. ie, before any other output to your browser.

Try popping the following at the top of your script to see if it throws any errors:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
