Having trouble appending a page redirect to a php function

[green917]

Hi all,

 

I'm having some trouble with an issue I've encountered on a page I'm writing. I'm relatively new to php and mysql coding and have set up a simple table and php function that updates my mySql db when the user clicks a submit button in the form. That part of the code is working fine but I would like to add a page redirect on the same button that sends the user to another page which lists the contents of the db table they are updating. I don't want to use an auto redirect for fear that they wont get the information input before the redirect and, when I attempt to place an additional "header: ('Location: ...../...php') call at the end of the function, I get an error that I can't change the header. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

A header should not be sent before any content (ie any PHP tags). If you wish to send a header after the content, which is not 100% correct.. but you must place ob_start after your first opening php tag, without any whitespace beforehand:

<?php
ob_start(); //Start output buffer for header

EDIT: There IS a sticky in this exact forum.....

Thanks for the help, I realized there was a character before the php tag that was throwing it off but, I wouldn't have even looked for that without your input. Thanks again.
