php header

[harkly]

I am trying to get my page to redirect to another with a header. I am getting the "headers already sent by " error. I've checked for white space and researched but can't seem to find anything the pertains to my code.

 

I am thinking that I am getting the error becuase I am posting to 'self'??

 

If someone could help me with my code or even send me to a good site that deals with this.

 

<?php

        if( isset($_POST['submitLogin']))
          {
            include('login.php');
            login();
            mysql_select_db('test');

            $userID=$_POST["userID"];
            $pswd=$_POST["pswd"];

            $sql="SELECT * FROM user WHERE userID='$userID' and pswd='$pswd'";
            $result=mysql_query($sql);

            $count=mysql_num_rows($result);

            while ($r=mysql_fetch_array($result))
              {
                $exp_date=$r["exp_date"];
                $todays_date=date("Y-m-d");
              }

              if($count==1)
                {
                  if ($exp_date >= $todays_date)
                    {
                      header('Location: aboutMe.php');
                    }
                  else
                    {
                      echo "Billing is bad";
                    }
                }
              else
                {

Read the error message, it tells you where the output is occurring at that is preventing the header() redirect from working.

 

You must find and fix whatever is causing that output.

From my research the error has something to do with white space, so I removed it all and still getting the error.

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/i/d/2/id2294/html/singles/login.php:11) in /home/content/i/d/2/id2294/html/singles/login.php on line 49

its in your included file, login.php. Until you change the order of your logic so the redirect happens before you load the login page which surely outputs a html form you will never get rid of this error.

So I will have to find another to redirect when the user logs in correctly.

[teamatomic]

No, your if block contains the include and the redirect. Put the redirect BEFORE the include.

I don't think that will work, I probably am missunderstanding. I am having the user log in, then the form is submitted to itself. It will either do 3 things based on if the user & pswd are valid and if the billing is up to date. Not sure how I can switch things around so that the redirect comes first.
