"header(Location:" not working

[marmite]

Hi,

 

The below code does not redirect: does anyone know why?

 

if ($_SESSION['prevpage']) {
	#echo "session";
	header("Location: http://localhost/index.php");
	exit;
	}

 

Thanks

The session isn't set then Try echoing off the session before trying to locate somewheres else.

Sorry, I don't follow you.

 

This code:

 

if ($_SESSION['prevpage']) {
	echo "session";
	header("Location: http://localhost/index.php");
	exit;
	}

 

does echo "session", so $_SESSION is set.

 

What do you mean, "echo off the session"? (sorry, I'm new to this!)

you can't echo anything to the browser before you call the header function...
