header() within class

[samona]

Hi all,

 

In the following code I have a header() call that should be executed when the username or password field is empty.  However, for some reason that header() function will not execute.  Instead, it goes all the way to the end of the process() method. 

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

class ProcessLoginForm {

	private $db;

	public function __construct(){		

		$this->db = new MySQLDB();	

	}

	public function process()
	{	
		$guest_session = new Session();
		$errors = array();

		$username = sanatize($_POST['username']);
		$password = sanatize($_POST['password']);

		if (empty($username)) {
			$errors['username'] = 'The username field cannot be blank.';
		}

		if (empty($password)) {
			$errors['password'] = 'The password field cannot be blank.';
		}

		if (count($errors)) {							

			$_SESSION['errors'] = $errors;	

			header('Location:../login.php');				
		}				

		if ($this->db->authenticateUser($username, md5($password))) {	

			$guest_session->destroySession();
			$session = new Session();
			$session->registerSession($username);				
			header('Location:../welcome.php');
		}	

		$errors['invalid'] = 'Invalid Username/Password';
		$_SESSION['errors'] = $errors;
		header('Location:../login.php');

	}		
}

$proc = new ProcessLoginForm();
$proc->process();
?>

Put die after the header and it will stop. Header() doesn't stop the processing it just sets HTTP headers.
