@John
Just replace the echo statements with the header redirects which will redirect to particular locations, You can find the header function at http://www.php.net/header

Hope it helps.

This is part of what I need to do. How can this be adapted to check if a page exists and if true load that page or if false load a different page, with everything happening silently (no messages echoed or 404 displayed)? Can anyone help? I’m new at PHP and can’t seem to find the answer. Thank you so much.

Thanks for stopping by.

Ternary operators are sometime difficult to be grasped by newbie coders and this post was directed to them , However the information is useful

Or, use the ternary operator for one line of code:
echo ( file_exists($file) ) ? “$file exists” : “$file does not exist”;
