Even though you have got your answer, I want to add something here. First of I know what error you are facing. If I am not making mistake you are facing problem with creating header request after sending output. I would suggest you learn how to avoid this issue and work with it. Be cause you will have lots of situation where you would have to send header data without exception. I can see that you are still learning. So, it would be better if you clear this issue than avoiding.

Solution 1

You can use JavaScript outputs by you PHP:

PHP

    echo '<script>window.location="http://abc.com"</script>';
/>

It will redirect your page to http://abc.com.

if javascript is disable, it won't work. but usually, it is enable by default.

So if javascript is disable, it won't work... Thats boring...
If the user accidentaly type "ESC" (escape), the javascript breaks!
So I think better will be:

echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://example.com/">';

What do you think? :D

Solution 2

you can turn on mod_rewrite on Apache and rewrite the URL to the page you want it to be redirected. Have a look here to begin : mod_rewrite[^]

This process is called URL rewriting. Hope this helps, because I cannot think of any other approach to redirect the page :) .

Cheers.
