Redirecting Users

 
Description: PHP has the capability of doing thousands of different useful things. On of those useful things, is the ability to redirect users using HTTP headers alone. This is different from using plain HTML Meta tags to redirect, as using this method the user won't even see the redirect occur. This can be very useful in creating a page that redirects to different pages, depending on the input to the script.

Regular Expressions in PHP

 
Description: Regular expressions are a powerful tool for examining and modifying text. Regular expressions themselves, with a general pattern notation almost like a mini programming language, allow you to describe and parse text. They enable you to search for patterns within a string, extracting matches flexibly and precisely. However, you should note that because regular expressions are more powerful, they are also slower than the more basic string functions. You should only use regular expressions if you have a particular need. This tutorial gives a brief overview of basic regular expression syntax and then considers the functions that PHP provides for working with regular expressions.
