load("./new.html")
}

You'd send a HTML redirect header using PHP's header() function, but it can only be done before any output goes to the screen.

So you can check some conditions at the top of your script (but don't print/echo anything), and then send the appropriate header() command to move the user to the correct page.

You could use:
if ($var == true){
include("/path_to_file/filename.txt");
}

I know of these two methods, but I'm in the middle of a html dokument, then I escape the html code and do some stuff...
If $var returns true I have to load a "clean" dokument, not related to the one I'm working in....

To the best of my knowledge, once that page is on its way to your browser, that's it. You have no more control...

Maybe there's something you can do in JavaScript...

I don't see why you can't put the PHP that "does some stuff" up top before you start outputting to the browser... just rearrange your page code.

Then there's always PHP4 with output buffering that gives you some more control over this stuff... but even with that, when you flush the buffer to the browser, that's it. You have no control to change anything...

You can use javascript. the following will load up a new page when it is encountered:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica">code:</font><HR><pre>
location.href="new_page.htm"
[/quote]
If you are within some PHP code, you'd have to get out and process (or echo) this javascript commands within some <script> tags. This example might be kind of long, but I know it works. you can adjust it as need be.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica">code:</font><HR><pre>
<?php
if ($var == true) {
?>
<script language="javascript">
location.href="new_page.htm";
</script>
<?php
}
?>
