Redirecting a site visitor based an a certain condition

[ifedi]

What's the neatest way to redirect a site visitor to another page using php, based on one or more conditions? I've already used header('Loacati on: another.php') in many of my scripts, but I find that there are problems sometimes.
I tried http_redirect() , but it seems I needed to put a number of things together to let my 'localhost' be able to word with it.
Any help'll be appreciated!

I agree with markusn00b. When you say you are (sometimes) having problems with header(..), you should solve that problem (probably "Cannot modify headers ...etc.... " msg) and then use the header() command to redirect.

Thanks guys for your comments. Don't really think it was a "Cannot modify headers ...etc.... " msg (which has to do with placing any browser output before the headers() is called), though I can't now pull out the exact situation where I had problems (limitations) with header().
At any rate, what's http_redirect() about, what has it got over headers() and how can I build its support into php?
As always, thanks.
