I have a .php that registers a user by calling another php function but i dont know what the best way to redirect a user if the registration is successful. Is there an option other than header incase i want to echo something before i redirect?

<?
// processRegister.php
//////////////////////

// First include the class definition
include('UserClass.php');

// Next, create an instance of the class
$newUser = new User;

// Call the registerUser() method, passing in the required variables
$newUser->registerUser($userName, $userPassword);

// If it was an error, the class will kill the script, if not, it will reach this point
$newUser->displayUserInfo();
?>

    You can use 4 methods, as you said using a header redirect:

    <?php header('Location: success.php'); exit; ?>

    Another is to use a session and to set some message you want to display and then display that message after you have redirected.

    if($login){
  $_SESSION['login_message'] = "Your account has been logged in ".$newUser->username;
}

//after redirect
if(isset($_SESSION['login_message']){
  echo $_SESSION['login_message'];
}

    You can also use javascript: 

    <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location = "http://www.google.com/"
//-->
</script>

    in php:

    <?php echo '<script>window.location = "http://www.google.com/"</script>'; ?>

    The last method is to use a HTML redirect:

    <html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5;url=http://www.w3schools.com" />
</head>

<body>
<p>Your message here, probably in php</p>
</body>
</html>
