Hello,
I have composed the following simple php file:
<html>
<head><title> Title. </title></head>
<body>
<?php
header("Location: http://www.something.com/tmp2.php");
?>
</body>
</html>
And result of its execution is:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
(output started at /home/something/public_html/tmp1.php:4) in
/home/something/public_html/tmp1.php on line 5
I thing, that in newsgroups I found a cause of my error:
"The reason you are getting this warning is because PHP is trying to
send a header (redirecting in this case) to browser, but it cannot,
because the output has already started."
But now I do not understand what is the use of header("Location:
***");. It can be placed only in the beginning of files, and after
browser open this file it (browser) is immediatly redirected to second
file. Is it not better to open second file straight away (withou
opening the first file)? Further, what I need to do if I want to
diplay some file and than, let say in 20 second, user have to be
redirected to next file? What I need to do if I want to perform
redirection only if some variables have same defined values?
Pleas help me if you know answers.
Thank you.

You have already created an html page with the tags, that is the output.
The headers, sent with header(), can only arrive BEFORE any other output
in the file.
What I think u are trying to do, is include html tags and php code from
tmp2.php into tmp.php.
If this is the case, try include(<your page>); in stead of header().

Which makes sense.
You did produce output already.
Do not confuse headers with meta-tags or something like that.
You produced output because you printed: <html><head> etc etc..

Sounds correct.
But now I do not understand what is the use of header("Location:
***");.
lemmie help you then. :-)
It can be placed only in the beginning of files, and after
browser open this file it (browser) is immediatly redirected to second
file.
correct, but don't use the word 'file'.
It is just a resource or better: URL or URI, not always a simple file.
Is it not better to open second file straight away (withou
opening the first file)?
If that doesn't break anything, well... of course!
Why send somewhere without reason?
COnsider the following situation:
page1.php contains a nice page with a form. The action of the form is
page2.php
page2.php contains logic to receive the form and insert some records in some
database.
Ok?
The problem you face now is that a client fills in the form on page1.php and
presses submit, the data in the form is send to page2.php.
page2.php processes this information and inserts it into the database.
......
And now?
Do you want to let your visitor see an empty page, since page2.php finished
its job and didn't produce any output/html.
So here is a situation where you would like to use a header("Location:
page1.php");
Then the clients browser receives a command to go to page1.php
Does it make sense now?
Further, what I need to do if I want to
diplay some file and than, let say in 20 second, user have to be
redirected to next file? What I need to do if I want to perform
redirection only if some variables have same defined values?
Use javascript or META-tags, not PHP.
In javascript: use window.setTimeout("location='anotherpahe.html';" , 500);
google for the metatag, i never use it, so don't know the syntax.
Pleas help me if you know answers.
Thank you.
You are welcome.

Let's say you have a series of pages where you require the user to log
in. You store the log in status as a session variable and then check
for its existence at the start of each page, before any HTML. If it
doesn't exist you can redirect the user to the login page via the header
function.
Further, what I need to do if I want to
diplay some file and than, let say in 20 second, user have to be
redirected to next file?
Once the PHP process is over the server has no knowledge of what is
going on at the client side. To redirect in 20 seconds requires a
client side process, ie JavaScript or meta refresh
What I need to do if I want to perform
redirection only if some variables have same defined values?
Put all the PHP code before any html. <?php must be absolutely the first
thing on your page.
