header() not redirecting.

I searched through the forum, but didn't see a solution to this.

 

I tested the if statement using an echo, and that worked fine, so I'm assuming that I did the header statement wrong.

 

$password1= $_REQUEST['password1'];
$password2= $_REQUEST['password2'];

if ($password1 != $password2){
header("Location: http://www.lkaslfdksalkfd.com/register.php?error=1");
}

You are probably getting a header error because something is being output to the page before the header() statement.

 

Are you developing and debugging php code on a system with error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to ON in your master php.ini so that php would help you by displaying all the errors it detects? You will save a TON of time.

Ok, so it seems that one of my include() scripts was messing it up like you said. Thanks for the help, and unfortunately I am using a hosting service so I can't change the ini file.

You should be developing and debugging code on a local development system. You will save a TON of time. Constantly uploading code to test it during the development and debugging cycle wastes a lot of time.
