Header

AJ
hi all

I'm having trouble getting something simple working and can't see why.

This is the code I'm running:

<?php if ($row_Recordset 1['type']=="agent"){

header("Locatio n: agentindex.php" );
echo "AGENT";
exit;
}

else
{
header("Locatio n: llindex.php");
echo "LANDLORD";
exit;
}

?>

header("Locatio n: agentindex.php" ); This will force most browsers to redirect immediately. You should also
specify the full URI, rather than the file name alone.
echo "AGENT"; This may never be executed, or rather may never be seen inthe browser as
it will be replaced with the page to which you have just redirected.
header("Locatio n: llindex.php");
echo "LANDLORD";

Likewise

If you are getting headers already sent errors, you script is outputting
something before the location call (even one white space character).

Check the manual for Output control and for headers:
http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php
http://uk2.php.net/header

Hope this helps, regards,

Andy

I've actually managed to sort it. I've found two things to watch out for:

1. Probably obvious, but it wasn't to me. I'd put the PHP with the header
information inside the <BODY> of the page
2. It would appear that any white space after the header call messes things
up. Even a space after the ; will cause it not to work

Does that sound feasible?

Sorry - been away for a couple of days, didn't see your reply.

to the browser, even a space before the <?php tag will stop it working
and give you a "headers already sent" error.
2. It would appear that any white space after the header call messes things
up. Even a space after the ; will cause it not to work

Not seen that happen before. I often use the Location header in an
if-else block like

if(!something)
{
header("Locatio n: http://somewhere.else/");
exit;
}
else
{
echo "I have not reditected you";
}

Hi. I am having a few header problems at the moment with a login page. I don't have my headers at the top of the page where I've learned I need to have them. However, I also know I'm supposed to have the session_start(); at the top of the page as well. So when you have two things that need to be the first which do you put first? And if I put one before the other will that cause problems? Below is a copy of the php from my page. It...

In the past there have been lengthy discussiions regarding the role of header files in C++. People have been very adamat about header files serving as in interface to the implementation. I do understand the objective. This example may represent an interface in need of a bit of refactoring, but it goes to demonstrate the basic idea as I understand it. http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/cvs-api/kdevelop/html/ast_8h-source.html...

It seems like, in every C source file I've ever seen, there has been a very definite include order, as follows: - include system headers - include application headers - include the header associated with this source file For example, in a file hello.c: #include <stdio.h>

Hi all What does the group think of the practise of including one header file from inside another? I have some legacy code where this has been done, and it creates a dependency on a module (collection of files) which are not required, except for one header file's contents. I'd say 'No, header files should be included in the C source, not in another

There seems to be an inconsistency (bug?) in the way the Set-Cookie header is handled by the WebHeaderCollection. That is, the values of Set-Cookie, when an Expires is specified, contain the "," character. This seems to be incorrectly parsed during GetValues(). A simple example shows it best (there are 2 .aspx pages and an output): AddHeaders.aspx: <%@ Page language="c#" %>

Hello, I am developing a BHO that should add a custom HTTP header on a specific domain only. Don't want the header globally, otherwise I could just add a registry key. So, on BEFORENAVIGATE2, I am canceling the current navigation and renavigating with the new custom header using Navigate2. This usually works fine, but in some cases (particularly when selecting a link that starts a new window), the Navigate2 call fails.

We use a Soap Header to pass a token class (m_Token) back and forth with authenticated session information. Given the following implementation for our Logout method, I vastly prefer to simply code m_Token = null in order to destroy the session token when the user logs out. However, I'm finding that setting class instance to null results in no header being sent back to the client, with the result that the client actually remains with an...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
