Header Location

[IrishKnights]

<?

include_once("db.info.inc.php");

 

mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);

@mysql_select_db($dbname) or die( "Unable to select database");

$query="INSERT INTO search (topic, memo) VALUES('$topic', '$notes')";

mysql_query($query);

mysql_close();

 

header("Location: addtopic.php");

exit;

?>

 

What is wrong with this code, it doesn't goto the header.

Can you please give more detail?

 

By "Doesn't go to the header" do you mean the url doesn't show that its on the correct page when it actually is, or that there is a php error?

Don't use short-tags, they are not recommend. Also turn on error reporting, if it isn't going anywhere maybe something is happening somewhere.

 

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
   include_once("db.info.inc.php");
   
   mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);
   @mysql_select_db($dbname) or die( "Unable to select database");
   $query="INSERT INTO search (topic, memo) VALUES('$topic', '$notes')";
   mysql_query($query);
   mysql_close();
   
   header("Location: addtopic.php");
   exit;
?>

<?
   include_once("db.info.inc.php");
   error_reporting(E_ALL);
   mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);
   @mysql_select_db($dbname) or die( "Unable to select database");
   $query="INSERT INTO search (topic, memo) VALUES('$topic', '$notes')";
   mysql_query($query);
   mysql_close();
   
   header("Location: addtopic.php");
   exit;
?>

 

Try that and see if you've got any errors.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/irishknights.co.za/public_html/ss/private/db.info.inc.php:6) in /home/irishknights.co.za/public_html/ss/private/addtopic_func.php on line 11

 

This is the error I get which is:

header("Location: addtopic.php");

and line 6 is:

?>

[Zane]

the error is in the db include file

You are getting output in your db.info.inc file and then header is failing and reporting an error message.
