Re: [PHP] Any way to use header() or another function to force user to "top level"

That is exactly what I am using now but the location I am redirecting
to is loading within the <div> tags and at the top level of the
browser.

In code.php, if various conditions aren't met, this script will do a
bunch of house cleaning, logging, then redirect using
header("Location: /some_url").

My problem is that /some_url comes up inside the div area, instead of
causing the browser to load /some_url as if accessed directly. Im
just starting to dabble with PHP so I'm sure there is another way of
doing this or maybe an argument to header() itself.

I'm looking for the same behavior as the HTML snippet <a href="/"
target="_top">here</a>

Once I make the call to header(), I no longer care about any state
information, session variables, or anything. Basically I am booting
the user out of the application and back to the login/splash page. All
information I need to retain has already been logged to various
mechanisms prior to calling header() which is immediately followed by
exit();

Thanks for any help,

Sounds like header() is what you are looking for then.

The one thing that you have to make sure is that you have not sent any
data to the browser. Use this:

<?php

#
#Do whatever you want here. Just don't output any data to the browser.
#

header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
exit;
# Always follow a header/location redirect with the "exit;" command.

?>

I have found that it is best to include the entire domain when using the
header/location redirect method.
