[SOLVED] User Registration Redirect Problem

[thesaleboat]

This is a user registration redirect page to verify that the passwords match so that they have entered the correct password... but i keep getting the same error:

 

"Your Passwords do not match.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at signup_ac.php:19) in signup_ac.php on line 21

 

I am trying to do a redirect that if the passwords do not match then redirect to signup.php, if they do redirect to login_success.php.  Please help this is frustrating.

 

<?php

include('config.php');

require_once("functions.php");

$tbl_name=users;

// values sent from form

$name=$_POST['name'];

$email=$_POST['email'];

$password=$_POST['password'];

$password_again=$_POST['password_again'];

// Insert data into database

if ($password == $password_again) {

$sql="INSERT INTO $tbl_name (name, email, password) VALUES ('$name', '$email', '$password')";

$_SESSION["name"] = $name;

$_SESSION["password"] = $password;

$result=mysql_query($sql);

redirect_to("login_success.php");

}

else {

echo "Your Passwords do not match.";

//redirect_to("signup.php");

header("location:signup.php");

}

 

?>

make sure there is no blank line on line one 1

or put <?php at the very top of code page.

[dubc07]

or instead of using header("location:signup.php"); use echo '<meta content="0; URL=../signup.php" http-equiv="Refresh" />';

[thesaleboat]

that is the entire page code. <?php is that the very top and the page is all php so that redirect will not work it gives me a new error:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in C:\xamp\xampplite\htdocs\JMISC_website\signup_ac.php on line 21

You are getting that error because you are Echo'g to the browser before the Header, which you can't do.

 

So why echo it if you are going to redirect anyways, you'll never see the echo.

 

Use the HTML redirect instead or remove the echo "Your Passwords do not match."; line.

[dubc07]

if your going to use

<?php echo '<meta content="0; URL=../signup.php" http-equiv="Refresh" />';?>

you can change the <meta content="0; 0 number to like 3 which is in seconds which will allow user to see your error before redirection.

COPY AND PASTE THIS

<?php
include('config.php');
require_once("functions.php");
$tbl_name=users;
// values sent from form
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$password=$_POST['password'];
$password_again=$_POST['password_again'];
// Insert data into database
if ($password == $password_again) {
   $sql="INSERT INTO $tbl_name (name, email, password) VALUES ('$name', '$email', '$password')";
   $_SESSION["name"] = $name;
   $_SESSION["password"] = $password;
   $result=mysql_query($sql);
   redirect_to("login_success.php");
}
else {
   echo "Your Passwords do not match.";
   echo '<meta content="0; URL=../signup.php" http-equiv="Refresh" />';
}

?>

Thanks guys that helped alot, especially the redirect thank you.  But for some reason it always says the passwords do not match?!  ???  they are the same when i type them in any ideas?

echo both $password and $password_again to verify.

[dubc07]

This should help the error listing after success

<?php
include('config.php');
require_once("functions.php");
$tbl_name=users;
// values sent from form
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$password=$_POST['password'];
$password_again=$_POST['password_again'];
// Insert data into database
if ($password == $password_again) {
   $sql="INSERT INTO $tbl_name (name, email, password) VALUES ('$name', '$email', '$password')";
   $_SESSION["name"] = $name;
   $_SESSION["password"] = $password;
   $result=mysql_query($sql);
   redirect_to("login_success.php");  
}
exit; 
else {
   echo "Your Passwords do not match.";
   echo '<meta content="0; URL=../signup.php" http-equiv="Refresh" />';
}

?>

I Just inserted an exit statement which is good practice if your programing php or any language.

This stops the script from going ahead.

Thanks so much guys... I really like that:

echo '<meta content="3; URL=signup.php" http-equiv="Refresh" />';

here is my working code, the echo was an awsome idea I need to remember to do that its so simple. here is my now working code thanks to you guys:

 

<?php

require_once("functions.php");

include('dbconnect.php');

$tbl_name="users"; // Table name

// Connect to server and select databse.

mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");

mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

$tbl_name=users;

// values sent from form

$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];

$email=$_POST['email'];

$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];

$password_again=$_POST['password_again'];

// Insert data into database

if ($mypassword == $password_again) {

$sql="INSERT INTO $tbl_name (name, email, password) VALUES ('$myusername', '$email', '$mypassword')";

$_SESSION["myusername"] = $myusername;

$_SESSION["mypassword"] = $mypassword;

$result=mysql_query($sql);

redirect_to("login_success.php");

}

else {

echo "Your Passwords do not match.";

echo '<meta content="3; URL=signup.php" http-equiv="Refresh" />';

//redirect_to("signup.php");

//header("location:signup.php");

}

?>
