Redirect a page without using the header

Question

In my curent project, the header is only loaded once. all the rest of the project add and remove Windows with AJAX method.

Everything works great exept for one detail, since I can't change the header (The page is always loaded). How can I transfer a client to the logon screen if his session had expired?

So far I'm using (in my session class):

public function LoginRedirect() {
//This function will redirect the user to the login page if the session is not valid. Will send GET Reason.
    $urlMessage = rawurlencode(utf8_encode($this->ErrMsg));
    echo '<script language="javascript"> window.location = "' . $this->RedirectURL . '?ErrMsg=' . $urlMessage . '";</script>';
}

But I dont like using Javascript to redirect a page to the login screen. Is there any other trick I could used?

Thank you

If you don't want to use headers, you could set a <meta> tag to do the redirecting:

$newURL = $this->RedirectURL.'?ErrMsg='.$urlMessage;
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url='.$newURL.'">';
