How can you execute a redirect using php from within an HTML document, without using javascript? Is it possible, would you have to put some php command in the <head></head> section? If I try to use header() function, it says error: header has already been sent...

Yes, a common newbie error.

You must send any headers including calls to session_start() session_register() and set_cookie before you send any other headers, like this:


<?
if(!$username) {
  header("Location: /login.php");
}
?>
<html> 
  etc etc....

I always insist to place

exit;

right after the

header("location: url.html");
