How to redirect a page using onclick event in php?

The Solution to How to redirect a page using onclick event in php? is


You can't use php code client-side. You need to use javascript.

<input type="button" value="Home" class="homebutton" id="btnHome" 
onClick="document.location.href='some/page'" />

However, you really shouldn't be using inline js (like onclick here). Study about this here: https://www.google.com/search?q=Why+is+inline+js+bad%3F

Here's a clean way of doing this: Live demo (click).

Markup:

<button id="myBtn">Redirect</button>

JavaScript:

var btn = document.getElementById('myBtn');
btn.addEventListener('click', function() {
  document.location.href = 'some/page';
});

If you need to write in the location with php:

  <button id="myBtn">Redirect</button>
  <script>
    var btn = document.getElementById('myBtn');
    btn.addEventListener('click', function() {
      document.location.href = '<?php echo $page; ?>';
    });
  </script>
