Page Redirection

[assgar]

Hello

I am working on a search page. When you type the person's
name insted of displaying a listing I want to be redirectd to
the user information.

I am getting a warninig:
Warning: cannot modify header information - headers already
sent( at start of D:\search.php: 108) in d:\search_play.php on line 242

How can suggest a way I redirect or be automatically sent to a nother
page without using header()?


[Html]

//search.php is the html form
<form action="<php echo $SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method = "post"> <!--line 108-->

[/html]


[php]
<?
//search_play.php process and display results
header("Location:../user_info.php"); //line 242

?>
[/php]

you can use ob_start(); at the beginning of the code

theres probably a cleaner way to do this thojugh

Its seems that you have a form the proceeds to another page with the information. From that you then trying to reroute to the correct page. If that is correct then no text/html should be displayed on the intermediate page. If there is any before the header(location) then it will error. Check on that. That would be the correct way to do so.

If you need a quick fix for the time being, just insert a javascript code.
[php]
echo "<script>document.location='" . $location . "';</script>";
[/PHP]

To be very clear: you cannot output anything (HTML,CSS,JavaScript) before redirection.

Therefore, move any processing of the page (error_checking, database transactions) above/before ANY output.

Use some variables and leave the output for later.

Hope that makes it clearer.
