<meta> vs <head> help needed \= redirecting problems >.<

Minimeallolla · December 2, 2010

How would I redirect if the code is after the <head> tag?

My code is a bit complicated and needs to go under my html code but wont redirect successfully because of <head>.

I'm using

 print("<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='0;index.php' />");

to redirect.

Re-organie your code. Think about it, why output any html if all your going to do is redirect the user to another page.

I might be a noob but im not That nooby lol.

Im using an if function >.<

trq · December 2, 2010

There is no such thing as an 'if' function.

Minimeallolla · December 2, 2010

<?php

if ( $_POST['username'] != 'thorpe' ) {

die (" if function? ");

?>

if is a control structure. Its part of the language itself.

Besides, you still need to rearrange your code.

I want the errors to go under the registration form and for that, the registration form must be at the top, interferring with the <head> and <meta> >.< I know die is not the best thing to use but i really cant figure out a working error function \=

litebearer · December 2, 2010

SInce the form is submitting to itself, perhaps you need to place your PHP stuff BEFORE you output the form

Minimeallolla · December 2, 2010

but the die ( ) is in the php and it will be echoed above the form and look bad lol im going to make a thread about the die ( ) code, i need a proper error function.
