is header() is the only way to forward/switch to other page ?

i am placing it at the very bottom of my php page, after all my "echo" etc.
I have no choice.

Is there any other method ?

im guessing your talking about php right?

if so you need to declare headers before browser output

[w3irdo]

yeah.

but is tat the only way?

i have no choice but to put at the bottom.

Is header() the only method that can be used in php ?

i have no choice but to put at the bottom.

Why?

i am placing it at the very bottom of my php page, after all my "echo" etc.

It makes really no sense to make a lot of output with echo() and the redirect the user, because the user don't see your echo's.

I think you should redesign your code...

what did you have in mind?

automatically switching pages without the user's actions?

or just provide links at the bottom?

HEADER() is a very finicky function. even as small as a "space" has been sent from the server to the client, your php script will fail immediately with the infamous error message...
