Php redirect() function

I am trying to make a group chat on my website. In this code I have it write to a html file then redirect the user to the page. When I run this it says:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function redirect() in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\groupchat.php on line 18

I can't figure out what's wrong.

In /groupchat.php on line 18 it says redirect(/chat.htm);

Can anyone help me?

 

function redirect($red) {
header("Location: ".$red);
}
add that somewhere

 

Means no such function. Create yourself using Kyosys's

 

yep, no such function.

 

No such function, a header redirect as already exampled is the closest thing to what you're looking for, you can create a function named "redirect" with the code already given by Kyosys.

 

You might want to add exit; below the header() as well.

 

Why?

Header acts instantly, but it's required to be at the top of the page before any output is executed.

 

because the script will continue running after you redirected.

 

Didn't think of it that way.

Thanks for pointing it out

 

function redirect($link) {
echo "<script language=Javascript>
document.location.href='$link';
</script>";
}

 

php redirect is http://www.php.net/header

header("Location: http://www.yoururl.com/yourpage.html");
or
header("Location: /yourpage.html");
