send header

[jagguy]

Hi,

I run a php script and want to return to another page automatically.
I get an error when the headers are resent it says, but I thought this is how it is done.

...      $sql = "INSERT INTO image2 (id,url,filename,description,del)
          VALUES(NULL,'http://localhost/php/images/','$file','$desc',NULL) ";
      $result = mysql_query("$sql")    or die("Invalid query: " . mysql_error());

      }
        mysql_close($link);


header( "Location: http://localhost/php/addImage4.html" ); //error
exit;

read the sticky thread at the top of this help forum if your getting header errors...

This seems to just goto the file straight away. I want it to do something then return automatically.

<?php header ("Content-type: image/png");//must be in 1st col and line of file

ignore_user_abort(true);
header('Location: http://localhost/php/upload2.html');

//do some image resizing in this file
..

[JasonLewis]

you mean like include a file? or require_once()?

I have worked it out, thanks.

You could have just used

<?php
ob_start();

codestuffhere

ob_end_flush();
?>
