I have constructed a valid url out of some bits and pieces in a MySQL database and can't figure out how to push that url out of XOOPS so that a user can jump to it.

I thought I should use "redirect_header" but I cannot seem to get that to work.

The use case is that I have a form with a button on it and when pushed I want to jump out of my xoops-based website to an external website.

php code looks like this ....

/* index.php */
require_once("../../mainfile.php");
include XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/header.php";

blah ...
blah ...

$url="http://www.google.com";

redirect_header($url, 1, "Redirecting to Google", true);

include XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/footer.php";

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Maybe,

header('location: '.$url);
