PHP can be used to redirect visitors from one page to another.
A basic redirect looks like this:
\header("Location: /new-page");\
After sending the header, it is also good practice to stop execution:
\exit;\
When PHP redirects are useful
- redirecting after a form submission
- sending users to a new internal page
- controlling redirects based on conditions in your application
Important note
If you are moving pages permanently for SEO reasons, server-level redirects such as Apache rules are often a better choice than application-level redirects.
