Quick question: Is using HTTP headers to redirect users reliable, or is there a way users can disable it? I'd be using the php header function.
The Internet is like a screwdriver. You can use it to take an engine apart and understand it, or you can see how far you can stick it in your ear until you hit resistance.

It's part of the http specification.
While you can not force the client to make http requests, no existing browser has even an option to not follow these redirects. They are simply too common.
Each time someone abuses hittest, God kills a kitten. Please, learn real collision testing.

Nah. Browsers can't disable them, but older browsers may not support them. I suggest you include a "if you are not redirected within X seconds, then click here" link, just in case.

The http redirects has been around since, like forever. There is no webbrowser that does not support them (that's a finished one). They where there before pictures in webpages.
