[SOLVED] how to redirect page after include

[phplearner2008]

Hi,

I have a file Interest_Sent.php where there is a checkbox and delete button, When the checkbox is checked and delete is pressed, it goes to process.php.

 

I am posting the code below:

<?php
include_once('C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\matrimonial\config.php');
$MY_ID = $_POST['MY_ID'];
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) $ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if($ref == 'http://localhost/matrimonial/templates/Interests_Sent.php')
{
$checkbox = array();
$checkbox = $_POST['box'];
$count = count($checkbox);
for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++)
{
   $value = $checkbox[$i];
$sql = "UPDATE interests_sent SET DELETED = 'Yes', DELETED_DATE = CURDATE() WHERE MY_ID = '$MY_ID' AND INTEREST_SENT = '$value' AND DELETED = 'No'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if($result)
{
  ob_start();  //start buffer
include('C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\matrimonial\Interests_Sent.php');
//we pass the output of include file to a variable
$buffer = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
header("Location:http://localhost/matrimonial/templates/Interests_Sent.php");
}  else echo "Could not delete"; 
} 

} ?>

The above code works fine except for last but one line(header line). How do I redirect my page to Interests_Sent.php after these operations at process.php is completed?

 

In other words how can I redirect a page after using include without getting "Headers already sent" error?

 

Thanks.

Don't output anything in your included file. You cannot call header after output has been sent to the client.

[Q695]

You can't output data to the browser before headers are sent, so you need to keep things on the server before the page is redirected.

 

If you need to include things from that page use a javascript redirect being called on load.

I used

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=Interests_Sent.php">

instead of header and my problem is solved.

 

Thanks for your help!
