While all of the other answers work  they all have one big problem  it is up to the browser to decide what to do if they encounter a Location header  Usually browser stop processing the request and redirect to the URI indicated with the Location header  But a malicious user could just ignore the Location header and continue its request  Furthermore there may be other things that cause the php interpreter to continue evaluating the script past the Location header  which is not what you intended   Image this    lt  php if   logged id          header  Location login php       delete everything      gt    What you want and expected is that not logged in users are redirected to the login page  so that only logged in users can delete everything  But if the script gets executed past the Location header still everything gets deleted  Thus  it is import to ALWAYS put an exit after a Location header  like this    lt  php if   logged id          header  Location login php        exit      lt - don t forget this     delete everything      gt    So  to answer your question  to redirect from a php page to another page  not just php  you can redirect to any page this way   use this    lt  php   header  Location http   www example com some page php     exit      lt - don t forget this     gt    Small note  the HTTP standard says that you must provide absolute URLs in the Location header  http       like in my example above  even if you just want to redirect to another file on the same domain  But in practice relative URLs  Location some page php  work in all browsers  though not being standard compliant
