Redirect 3

[mmaz]

Hi,

How do you redirect a user to another page? In ASP, it would be Response.redirect "

http://www.mysite.com"

Thanks,

Don't know if it's a generally accepted way of doing it (there's probably a fancier way with a module) but you know how you have to print a mime line before any output to browser, ie "Content-type: text/html\n\n" ? You can say BEFORE that "Location: $url\n\n" where $url would contain the redirect address. Just dump it to standard out so it's the first thing the browser sees. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...but I'm just a C man trying to see the light

If you're using the CGI module (having done [tt]my $cgi = new CGI;[/tt], say) you would do:
[tt]print $cgi->redirect($url);[/tt]

You should not print out any header before or after doing so.

I'm fairly certain that has exactly the same result.

print "Location:

http://www.site.com

\n\n";

Thats how I would do it...
