Can't get header to work

[DKY]

I'm trying to use header like so
[code]header('Location: http://www.example.com/');[/code]
but it doesn't work.  I look in my address bar and it is still the address of the original file.  But if I put something like
[code]echo "yo";[/code]
it echos out the response.  I don't get it, help???

[code]<? header('Location: http://www.example.com/'); ?>[/code]

Works for me, is it at the very top of your page before you have echo'ed anything to the screen?

I'm trying to put it in an else of an if then statement.  Can I do that?  I thought I could but if it has to be at the top of a page then I can't, right?

Can you post the full code?

Orio.

I can PM it.....  If that's okay

No, post it in the forum so everyone can take a look at it. This is a community and the only way the community can help you is for you to post your code publicly. Just hide any sensitive code.

Hiding would have been too much and I wouldn't want links to someone's page out on the net but just to give an idea of what I was doing, I was trying to use header in a nested IF statement.

ob_start();
worked! I just put it at the top of my page and I can use the header in my nested if! That's awesome! Thanks for the help though!

I wonder if I need an Exit or not....
