Conditional JS Redirect

I am having a problem with php header redirect not working on safari

if (!isset($lang))
{
header('Location: http://domain.com/en/home');
}

I have read that this could be done with JS fairly simple, but no idea how to do it with the condition if $lang is set.

Should, I just execute the js within the "php if", or there is a better/clever way to do it.

Thanks.

You can use echo to print HTML tag <script> and put your JavaScript code inside this tag.

if (!isset($lang)){
   echo "
       <script>
          window.location = "http://domain.com/en/home";
       </script>
    ";
}

You can try with ob_start()

ob_start()//Define at the top of the php page.
if (!isset($lang))
{
header('Location: http://domain.com/en/home');
exit;
}

Using Java Script

if (!isset($lang))
{
  ?>

    <script>
    location.href = "http://domain.com/en/home";
    </script>

  <?php
}

First off, you should stop the php execution if you set a redirect header:

if (!isset($lang))
{
     header('Location: http://domain.com/en/home');
     exit;
}

Note: for this to work properly, you need to set this header before any other and before setting any doctype. Also, the exit prevents anything else from being sent to the broswer (content, other headers, etc). Mixing headers can result in unwanted behavior.

Secondly, you can do:

if (!isset($lang))
{
     ?>
     <script>
     window.location = "http://domain.com/en/home";
     </script>
     <?php
}
