im trying to protect my database from getting sql inserted into via the url. I want to check the number im passing through $_GET to see if is a number. if it is a number--do nothing, if its not---send to homepage. and im using ctype_digit to check to see if it is a number. heres the section right now.

 

if (! ctype_digit($postid)) {
        header("Location: http://www.homepage.com");
    }

 

it works if theres a number but if i type a bunch of nonsense letters in the url i get an error that says i cannot modify the header info

 

anyone got some advice?

yeah i don't really understand that article. i just tried putting that section at the VERY top of my page/script and still error.

 

Hmm, that's weird, this problem almost always is caused by output, even whitespace, before you invoke this method.
