PHP : Exercise-11 with Solution

Write a PHP script to redirect a user to a different page.

Sample Solution:

PHP Code:

<?php
// Use the header function to send a raw HTTP header
// In this case, the header function is used to perform a redirection
// The 'Location' header specifies the URL to which the user will be redirected
header('Location: https://www.w3resource.com/');
?>

header() function:

Syntax:

void header ( string $header [, bool $replace = TRUE [, int $http_response_code ]] )

header() is used to send a raw HTTP header.

Parameters:

  • header: The header string.
  • replace: The optional replace parameter indicates whether the header should replace a previous similar header, or add a second header of the same type.
  • http_response_code: Forces the HTTP response code to the specified value. Note that this parameter only has an effect if the header is not empty.
