Hi,

The following script outputs 12345. It should go to intro_page.php after the
4 session variables have been populated. Can you see what I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks,

Hi,

The following script outputs 12345. It should go to intro_page.php after
the
4 session variables have been populated. Can you see what I'm doing wrong?

Unless you buffer your output, header()'s have to be written before any
output to your client screen.

Check this out:

Yes, but the script isn't getting that far. There are no lines in the
returned dataset, so either there is something wrong with the sql, or
there is no site_number 1.

Once you do any output, you cannot use the header() function and get it
to do what you expect. Calling header *must* be done *before* any other
output.

Try changing the print() to some form of debug logging instead if you
want to trace your code this way.
