problem in session redirecting - IE

[vjayis]

Hi

I have created a loginpage in which the user enters their username and password.,
the page gets loaded and validates the input and then it is redirectesd to the seeeion page using html code.,

correct code tags usage<?
if(username and password is correct)
{
?>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0,url=session.php?user=<? echo $user;?>" >
<?
}
?>
 

., this is my code and once again in session page i am redirecting the datas in to another page using the same code.,

the code works well with firefox but not in IE.

In IE the same page itself gets loaded again and again.
the page was not redirected..

And i had tried even by php redirectin

header( 'Location: session.php?user='.$user ) ;
 

but i am responded with the error.,
"Headers already sent".

and tried even by giving the full path.,which results in the same errors.


can anyone help me??

the time to reload and url are seperated by a semi colon

content="5; url=somepage.php"

Sweet!

And, in all honesty, this isn't a php problem - (php runs serverside and has nothing to do with the browser) - so consider this next time 'is my post more relevant to the html forum?'.

i suggest you use the later redirect (the server side with header("Location: ..."); )

It is safer.

The reasion you're getting that code is you're posting something to the page before the line is reach.

Put that line near the type of the page and make sure the file starts with <?php before anything else.

I don't believe there's anything safer about either of the approaches.

A problem with the meta redirects is that the browser may have them disabled - if this is the case you should provide a link stating 'click here if your browser (doesnt support meta redirects | doesnt redirect within 5 seconds)

A problem with header redirects is you have to be very, very specific with there placement, as dlite said.
