Proper Redirect

[onlyican]

I am building the part of my website which checks if a user has the right access level to be on that page

If there not, I will redirect them to a Log In Page

I will do this by

<?php
header("Location: ".root.".login.php";
?>

BUT
If I am redirecting someone, dont I need some more headers

Whats is the proper headers for redirecting someone to a diff page

The manual will give you the format of the header function. You will redirect when the user has no access (no sessions) or when access level isn't what you expected. (The other info should be in your sessions)

What other info are you talking about?

it states on the php.net site

The second special case is the "Location:" header. Not only does it send this header back to the browser, but it also returns a REDIRECT (302) status code to the browser unless some 3xx status code has already been set.

I dont want a 302 Redirect
So I need some 3xx Status Code??

You shouldn't have any problems with redirecting them.

[code]
<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION['logged'])){
header("Location: login.php");
}else {
echo "hi";
}
?>
[/code]

I dont need any more headers
like

header("HTTP/1.0 302 Redirect");
or Anything?

i dont think you do need a redirect header... i never use one, and never see any errors on my server.

I aint used one before, but I just wanted to check if I was doing it proper
