What do you mean by separate page? Like a popup? Or in a different frame? Or just that if there is no matches then it shows a completely different page?

If there are no listings I want it to load a completely different page than the listings page.

One way would be to use an if statement and a javascript redirect.

<?php if ($record['content']): ?>

***Insert html code here***

<?php else: ?>

<script>document.location.href='page2.php'</script>

<?php endif ?>



It may or may not be the best option, but right off the top of my head, it would work.

Another way is to put the code up at the top before ANY html is output, like this:

<?php
if (!$featured_carsRecords) {
header("Location: http://www.example.com/newurl.html");
exit;
}
?>

Hope that helps!

Definitely go with Dave's solution - I was wondering how to do a PHP redirect in this situation. They are more reliable than a javascript redirect. There are still a few people who don't have javascript enabled, therefore my solution wouldn't work for them. Since PHP is a server side action, it will always work.

As Dave said - make sure it goes before any HTML or it won't work.

Thanks Dave for the code!
