PHP redirection using header

Question

My web structure is

---

         Header-of-page

---

Nav Link || iFrame

---

       Footer

---

I'm Trying to handle session timeout, when session has timeout I'm trying to redirect page to login page, this works fine(session timeout).

Problem: When I'm redirecting the page,login page is displayed in iFrame, which is not expected.

How can I redirect to login page(whole window),rather than opeing it in iFrame.

I Tried: 1. using header 2. using javascript(Commented)

<?php session_start();

$timeout = 1; // Set timeout minutes
$timeout = $timeout * 60; // Converts minutes to seconds

if (isset($_SESSION['timeout'])) 
{
    $session_life = time() - $_SESSION['timeout'];
    if ($session_life > $timeout) 
    {
        session_destroy();
        header("Location: login.php?msg=timeout");
        // echo '<script language="javascript">'; 
                    // echo 'window.location.replace("login.php");';
                    // echo '</script>';
    }
}
$_SESSION['timeout'] = time();

?>

Please guide me for this issue. Thanks!

Answer 1

Try this: window.top.location.href = "http://www.site.com";

As long as this is on the same domain name.
