periods for concatenation...

header( 'Location: '.$_PHP['self'].'?page=news' ) ;

...but if you want PHP_SELF, you can also just do:

header( 'Location: ?page=news' ) ;

I get this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /Users/lesbrown/Sites/site1/test.php: in /Users/lesbrown/Sites/site1/test.php on line 33

if you use header(), it must be before ANY output to the browser, including HTML. you need to check $_GET['page'] and header() if necessary before you use <!DOCTYPE>

sean14592 · May 20, 2008

k, new code....

<?php // start the PHP
if (isset($_GET['page'])){ // if the variable 'page' is set in the URL do this:
	if ($_GET['page'] == 'news'){ // if the variable 'page' is equal to 'news' (  /index.php?page=news ) then 
	// echo out all the information regarding that page
	echo ("<div id=\"main\"><div id=\"column\">	<div id=\"featuredproperty\"></div></div><div id=\"content\"></div></div>"); 
	} else if ($_GET['page'] == 'something'){ // if the variable 'page' is equal to 'something' (  /index.php?page=something ) then 
	// echo out all the information regarding that page
	echo ("<div id=\"main\"><div id=\"column\">	<div id=\"featuredproperty\"></div></div><div id=\"content\"></div></div>"); 
	} else if ($_GET['page'] == 'properties'){ // if the variable 'page' is equal to 'properties' (  /index.php?page=properties ) then 
	// echo out all the information regarding that page
	echo ("<div id=\"main\"><div id=\"column\">	<div id=\"featuredproperty\"></div></div><div id=\"content\"></div></div>"); 
	}

} else {
		echo ("hi!");	// or something to this extent, I dont think this works out of the HTML <head> tags.
}
// end the PHP
?>

though, I still dont know how to fix this first error...

sean14592 · May 20, 2008

    header('Location: ?page=news');
    exit;
  }
?>

<?php // start the PHP

  // echo out all the information regarding that page
  echo ("<div id=\"main\"><div id=\"column\"> <div id=\"featuredproperty\"></div></div><div id=\"content\"></div></div>"); 
  } else if ($_GET['page'] == 'something'){ // if the variable 'page' is equal to 'something' (  /index.php?page=something ) then

      <div id="footer">
