Sending "header" info after HTML?

[Solarpitch]

Hey guys,

 

I am looking to use "header("Location:index.php");" in my code. Basically this will be called when the user logs in to redirect them to the home page but as you expect I get the usual "headers already sent message"

 

Just wondering how to get around this?

 

Do I use the ob_start() method or something? Not quite sure myself

 

Cheers,

Ger.

yes you would use ob_start

Hey,

 

I kinda had an idea alright but I am not sure how you would use it?

 

Would it be something like...

 

function redirect()

{

header("Location:index2.php");

}

 

ob_start("redirect");

[fert]

<?php
ob_start();
echo "HTML";
header("Location: page.php");
ob_end_flush();
?>

Thanks for that!

I am experiencing similar problems with "Warning: Header may not contain more than a single header, new line detected in lib.php line 156"

 

This is the lib that runs thousands of pages but we recently upgraded our php and mysql and now I am getting these errors. Authentication is performed at a login screen with the lib as an include which is listed just above the auth section in top of page. I attempted to inset the ob_start & ob_end_flush lines you referred to in the lib where it references the redirect code but couldn't get it to work. I also did the same thing with the login page at the web site in the <php section and didn't work either.

 

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
