So I have been reading around on google, and it is just a mess of different answers, with not much explanation.
My question is how do you switch between PHP pages? Suppose I have a directory on my server that has the following files in it:
index.php
about_us.php
contact_us.php
Lets suppose on all 3 pages, I have a header with 3 links:
Home
Info
Contact
What should happen when one of the buttons (lets say Contact) is hit?
I have read about 3 techniques:
Php: header("contact_us.php")
javascript: window.location = "contact_us.php";
html: <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; URL="contact_us.php">
Are any of these preferred by today’s standards? I read somewhere that you aren’t supposed to use php’s header() function now.
Any insight would be very great to help me make my decision 🙂
Just make them regular links
