question about header() command and echo

[runway27]

i have a question about using header("Locatio n: filename.html") ; in php

with my present code i have a few echo statements followed by header("Locatio n: filename.html") ; because i have echo

statements before header("Locatio n: filename.html") ; i am getting an error that headers have already been sent. i cannot

remove the echo statements as they are doing an important task. based on this situation i can use echo followed by the html

code for the filename in filename.html if i do this the code will run into a few 100's of lines and due to this i would like

to use [php]header("Locatio n: filename.html") ;[/php]

i have tried the following code and it works =

echo " <form name='errorpage' action='error.php' method='post'> </form> 	  
       <script type='text/javascript' language='javascript'> document.errorpage.submit(); </script> ";

however if javascript is turned off this redirection will not work.

could you please suggest if there is an alternative to using echo statement first followed by [php]header("Locatio n: filename.html") ; [/php]please advice.

thanks.

Please enclose any coding within the appropriate code tags - moderator

Do not ask two questions in one thread. This is confusing and could lead to a mix-up of two different conversations. So I will remove the second part. Please open a new thread for that one.

You can use a meta redirect:
[code=html]
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url= http://redirect.to.com ">
