Redirect via .htaccess

    So right now I'm redirecting like so:

    if ($login == "Success") {
 
echo '<script>location.href = "user_account.php";</script>';

}else{

$err = "some error";

}
    Code (markup):
    It's sluggish. Takes a couple seconds. I did an html redirect via the header, same thing - sluggish.

    I'd like redirect from login.php (once a user is logged in) to user_account.php via .htaccess. How do I do that? I know how to do a redirect from one file to another, but how do I do the same only after a successful login?

    Your logic should be at the top of the script before you output anything which means you can use header()
    ref: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

    if ($login == "Success") {
   header('Location: https://mysite.com/user_account.php');
   exit;
} else {
   $err = "some error";
}
