Author how to make a redirect plugin function

Hi All,

This is my first stab at a plugin and my first stab at a HTTP redirect
plugin. It seems to work but; am I doing anything wrong? I am mindful of the
fact that I am basically stopping the Smarty compiler in its tracks, and
this doesn't seem like a good thing.

Is there a better way?

Am I violating some cardinal rule?

Here's the code:

<?php
/**
* Smarty plugin
* @package Smarty
* @subpackage plugins
*/


/**
* Smarty {redirect} function plugin
*
* Type: function
* Name: redirect
* Purpose: Do a HTTP redirect
* @link http://www.webmaterials.com
* (Webmaterials website)
* @param array
* @param Smarty
* @return string
*/
function smarty_function_redirect($params, &$smarty)
{
if (!isset($params['url'])) {$smarty->triggererror("redirect: missing
'url' parameter"); return;}
if (empty($params['url'])) {$smarty->triggererror("redirect: empty 'url'
parameter"); return;}
header("Location: ".$params['url']);
$html ='<a href="'.$params['url'].'">'.$params['url'].'</a>';
return $html;
}

/* vim: set expandtab: */
?>
