trq Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 According to the HTTP specs, the Location header should be a complete uri, not just a filename (of course most browser seem to work ok without, but it's best practice).

hvandracas Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Well, if the page in the header is in the same folder as the page you're are being redirected from than it should work, however if it's not, than you should either use full path (http://...) or use other marks to mark the target file (for example ../page.php or folder/files/index.php).

Fergal Andrews Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hi xuniter, The problem is with the form action. You're missing an end quote: <form action="dologin.php method="post"> should be <form action="dologin.php" method="post"> Also, headers need to be sent before anything is output to the page. It is best to move your php code containing the header command to the top of the page before <html>, etc. There's no need to use an else command. If the condition is not met then the code will just continue. If it is met then the header will redirect to the new page. Cheers, Fergal <?php if (isset($_SESSION['user'])) { header("Location: index.php"); } ?> <html> <head> <title>Basic CMS | Admin area Login</title> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/225301-cant-find-the-page/#findComment-1163590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
