oh ok, i get it now. So a header cannot overwrite a header kinda thing. Anyway got it working thanks again for the help mate.

or sorry that was my temp fix i copy and pasted. Here is the header: }else{ header ("Location: index.php"); } this page displays a forum for users to enter a reply to a post however is the topic is locked and they are not an admin and try entering something like http://***-***.info/testforum/message.php?id=23 i want them to get redirected to the main forum page

well i start my php file like this: <?php include "connect.php"; //connection string include("include/session.php"); print "<link rel='stylesheet' href='style.css' type='text/css'>"; print "<table class='maintables'>"; print "<tr class='headline'><td>Reply</td></tr>"; print "<tr class='maintables'><td>"; and if my first if statment returns false it gose to: }else{ header ("Location: index.php"); } is that being specific enough or do you guys need more?

Because my CSS i cannot change do something like header ("Location: index.php"); when i try it, i get this error: here is my css: <!--- body { a:link, a:visited, a:active { text-decoration: none} font-family:Verdana, Sans-serif; color; #000000; font-size: 12px } input,textarea, select,{ color : #000000; font: normal 12px; border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000000; } .maintable {border: 0px ; width: 100%; padding: 0px; background-color: #FFFFFF} /*main table for forum*/ .regrow {font-family: Verdana,Sans-serif; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; background-color: #FFFFFF;font-size: 12px;} /*registration row, mainly here for symetry*/ .headline {font-family: Verdana,Sans-serif;font-weight: bold;color: #FFFFFF;background-color: #003366;font-size: 11px;} /*headline row, the first row that says forum name, topics, posts and such*/ .forumrow {font-family: Verdana,Sans-serif; color: #000000;background-color: #F2F2F2;font-size: 12px;} /*color of the forum rows*/ .mainrow a:link, a:visited, a:active { text-decoration: none;} .mainrow {font-family: Verdana,Sans-serif; color: #000000;background-color: #F2F2F2;font-size: 12px; a:link, a:visited, a:active { text-decoration: none}} /*color of the forum rows*/ .maintables{background-color: #FFFFFF; width: 85%; padding: 0px; border: 3px solid; cellspacing: no} /*main table for forum*/ ---> This is seriously limitting me does anyone know how to fix this?

strange the query worked without those in another php file of mine :S anyway thanks for the help mates.

Thanks mate that worked! but before i hit topic solved mabey somone can answer one more question i have. What do the "`" is the following code mean/stand for/do? SELECT `locked` FROM `forumtutorial_posts` WHERE `postid` = '{$id}'"

getting the same error still

you should click on the "Topic Solved" button at the bottom of the page mate, this way people wont look at this anymore since there isnt much need.

I have the following code: $id=$_GET['id']; $query = "SELECT locked FROM forumtutorial_posts WHERE postid = $id"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); $record = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); if ($record['locked'] < 1 ){ if(isset($_POST['submit'])) and when i run it on my server i get the error : idk i cant see anything wrong, but then again im really tired. Thanks for the help

Thought it was only one, thanks mates

Is the following line suposed to have two ";"? $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());; I tried it with both there and with only one and got the following error displayed on my page.

I got the current code: if($session->isAdmin()){ print" &nbsp-<A href='deletetopic.php?id=$id'>Delete Topic "; $query = "SELECT locked FROM forumtutorial_posts WERE postid = $id"; $result = mysql_query($query); print $result; if ($result < 1){// if locked is set to 0 (unlocked) print" &nbsp-<A href='locktopic.php?id=$id'>Lock Topic"; }else{//otherwise show unlock print" &nbsp-<A href='unlocktopic.php?id=$id'>Unlock Topic"; } } I know that locked for the postid it should be using (13) is set to 1 so it should show unlock topic, but instead it shows lock topic. Can anyone see why?
