log in

[Kano]

Hi there,

I am asking if someone could help explain how, after validation of log in details does the php open a new script (html page) rather than using the include function?

 

thanks.

You can use include(),require(), or header() to send someone to another page.

Nice one mate,

 

I will check these out in php manual, many thanks.

you could also use javascript function navigate(), so you dont have to keep posting to the server.

Having a mare with the header function:

 

my script reads on the first line before any output:

 

<?php

if($_SESSION['auth'] = "yes"

{

header ("Location: http://blar blar.php");

}

 

?>

 

There is no space before the <?php

 

and IE is giving me a warning that = cannot add header information - headers already sent by...

 

Can anyone please help me understand this, many thanks.

Problem solved:

 

I change the file encoding from utf-8 to ansi

 

and that worked,

 

thanks for the help.
