[Phplib-users] just a development thought

[darcy w. c. <da...@el...>]

hi,

  while i've been developing my phplib app, i've run into a situation
where it might be useful to create a phplib function.  The scenerio is
one in which i'm using header("Location: ...") to redirect to another
page.  What i have discover (which of course may be obvious to many) is
that in order for session variables to take, the page_close function
needs to be called.  What i'm wondering about is whether it might be a
nice idea to create a kind of phplib_redirect function.  One in which
page_close is called and then header("Location: ...").  i think this
might be nice for novice users, who may not necessarily realize the
importance of closing the page before redirecting.  i myself found it a
little confusing to have two page_close() in the document, until i
understood the problem better.  Anyway, it's just a thought.  i'm not
sure whether anyone else thinks this is a good idea or where in the
phplib it should go.
