Another Noobie Question

I want to make a script redirect the user back to the Index.php page if it found that the login was correct. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks.


[pre]if(mysql_affected_rows()==0){
$_SESSION['in'] = 0;
            //BACK TO LOGIN.PHP
}
else {
$_SESSION['in'} = 1;
//REDIRECT TO INDEX.PHP HERE
}[/pre]

as long as nothing has been output to the browser previously, then this should work:

[code]
<?php
header("Location: /login.php");
exit;
?>
[/code]

using header alone like this does not IMMEDIATELY redirect, hence my 'exit' the line after.

I've already sent something to the browser I think.

The header isn't working. Its giving me the usual "headers already sent."

Here is the whole form

[code]<? session_start(); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>CheckLogin</title>
</head>

<body>

<?php
@mysql_connect("localhost","allan","ah1018$") or die("Cannot Connect to DB!");
@mysql_select_db("trademymedia")or die("Cannot select DB");

$Email = $_POST["uEmail"];
$Password = $_POST["uPassword"];

$r = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM customerinfo WHERE Email = '".$Email."' AND Password = '".$Password."'");

if(!$r) {
$err=mysql_error();
print $err;
exit();}

if(mysql_affected_rows()==0){
$_SESSION['in'] = 0;
}
else {
$_SESSION['in'] = 1;
header("index.php");
}

?>
</body>
</html>[/code]

move all your php code up to the top, above the HTML. i cant see any specific reason for it to be there, so you should be fine.

and you need header("Location: index.php"), not header("index.php"), followed by an 'exit'

[code]
<?php
session_start();

@mysql_connect("localhost","allan","ah1018$") or die("Cannot Connect to DB!");
@mysql_select_db("trademymedia")or die("Cannot select DB");

$Email = $_POST["uEmail"];
$Password = $_POST["uPassword"];

$r = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM customerinfo WHERE Email = '".$Email."' AND Password = '".$Password."'");

if(!$r) {
$err=mysql_error();
print $err;
exit();}

if(mysql_affected_rows()==0){
$_SESSION['in'] = 0;
}
else {
$_SESSION['in'] = 1;
header("Location: index.php");
exit;
}

?>
