redirect after auto script

[Josselin]

I have a page 'pni.php' to which paypal is redirecting after payment
thsi page contains a db update script, no problem it's running well

but once this script is executed (transparently for the use, as there
is nothing to display)
how can I redirect to another page ?

header redirect can only be placed at the beginning of the page... not
at the end
I've already writen redirection but only when there was a form inside
and a user action.. to refresh the page , this is not the case ... :-((

pni.php
<?
DN update script from Paypal _POST data
....
(no display, no user action)
...
auto redirect to another page ? -> index.php
?>

You "can" make a call to header() at the end of the page as long as
there's been no output to the broswer. If you're using include() or
require(), make sure there's no newlines or extra spaces in the update
script or else the call to header() will fail.

headers must come before any emitted content.
but needn't come at the start of the script.

if the script produces no output you can put the header() call anywhere.
pni.php
<?
DN update script from Paypal _POST data
...
(no display, no user action)
..
auto redirect to another page ? -> index.php
?>

you can put the header at either end of the script. it makes no difference
as long as it has no produced content before it.

Thanks for you answers ... after a good rest, I discovered that I put
it in the wrong included files ...

pni.php includes pni_succes.php end include pni_error.php
the redirect MUST be writtent at the end of the pni_php !!!

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="x;url=./index.php" />

Where x is number of seconds before redirect
put it into the header of you page. And put some link that the user can
follow if the redirect does not work
