echo in a new page...

[Pavlos1316]

Hi

 

I am trying to sent a welcome echo when enterimg members page.

 

Either if i put echo before or after the header I get nothing displayed.

 

Is there something else I should do?

 

Thanks

if(mysql_num_rows($result)>0){
//Login Successful
//Regenerate session ID to
//prevent session fixation attacks
session_regenerate_id();
$member=mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$_SESSION['SESS_ID']=$member['ID'];
//Write session to disc
session_write_close();
header ("location: member.php");
echo "<p> </p><p> </p><center><font color=#FFFF00><font size=36><font weight=bold>Welcome $Username to our members area.</font></font></font></center>";
exit();

as soon as you put in the header(location) it will go directly to that page, you will not see your message. If you want to see it use a META refresh instead.

change

header ("location: member.php");

 

to

 

header('Refresh: 5; url=http://www.yoursite.com/member.php');

I know how to view msg before the member.php page loads.

 

But I want to display the msg in that page.

ok

change lines

header ("location: member.php");
echo "<p> </p><p> </p><center><font color=#FFFF00><font size=36><font weight=bold>Welcome $Username to our members area.</font></font></font></center>";

to

echo "<p> </p><p> </p><center><font color=#FFFF00><font size=36><font weight=bold>Welcome $Username to our members area.</font></font></font></center>";
include ("member.php");

You got the id in a session, just query the table with the id and put the message on the next page. Either that or you would need to store the username in the session and put the welcome message on the next page and use the session variable instead of $Username.
