redirecting

[gos1]

Hi ;
I have a problem while redirecting user to another page. When I use [code]header("Location:admin.php");[/code]
I first got an error message headers already sent. Then deleted the empty lines and now nothing happens. Then I tried to echo the javascript code:
[code]
window.location = 'admin.php'
[/code]
and it does not work on my page because I dont have headers and footers in my page. How can I redirect the user to another page ? ??

When you use header, you must ensure that nothing has been written to the document at all, otherwise the header command will return that error.

Hope this helps.

Hi

I use this code

[code]$url = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
// Check for a trailing slash.
if ((substr($url, -1) == '/') OR (substr($url, -1) == '\\') ) {
$url = substr ($url, 0, -1); // Chop off the slash.
}
$url .= '/new_page.php'; // Add the page.
header("Location: $url");
mysql_close();
exit();[/code]

I decided to use javascript for that. It works fine and does not require an empty page
