PHP - Like Javascript

Using PHP, how do I replace the current page with another website, without navigating to a different page, resulting in the browser's Forward and Back buttons becoming enabled.

See Javascript below that achieves this, can PHP do the same?

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
  <head>
  <title></title>
<script>
function leavePage() {
  location.replace('http://www.google.com/')
}
var leaveTimeoutID=""; // the global var to hold the timeout id
var leaveTime = 5; // seconds 
function initLeave() {
   clearTimeout(leaveTimeoutID); // stop the function
   leaveTimeoutID=setTimeout('leavePage()',leaveTime*1000); // leave in leaveTime seconds
   // comment or delete next line when you are happy
   now = new Date(); window.status="leaving in 5 seconds: " + new Date(now.setSeconds(now.getSeconds()+5)) 
}
</script>  
  </head>
  <body onLoad="initLeave()" onMouseMove="initLeave()">

  </body>
</html>

Code:

header('Location: http://www.google.com/');
exit;

Make sure you do this before sending any HTML out to the browser or you will get an error.

How do I navigate to a page, after adding information to a database?

Do all your database stuff before sending the redirect header.

As long as you don't output anything, this will work.

Code:

mysql_query("UPDATE table SET field='new value'")

...
...

header('location: http://domain.com/newurl/');
exit;
