[SOLVED] Header Function won't redirect!!!

[contraboybish]

This has to be one of the most annoying errors ever!!!!!

 

I have the following code.....

---

<?php

 

require_once('testconnection.php');

 

$query = "DELETE FROM subscription WHERE subId = {$_POST['id']}";

odbc_exec($odbc, $query) or die (odbc_errormsg());

 

odbc_close($odbc);

 

header("Location: register_results.php");

?>

---

 

The above deletes a reat but i get the follwing error.....

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at d:\inetpub\logisticsbusiness.com\web\content\library\testconnection.php:2) in d:\inetpub\logisticsbusiness.com\web\content\library\register_delete.php on line 10

 

Any thoughts anyone :-)

headers wont work if there is anything output to screen before they happen, it is saying that an output occured on line 2 in testconnection.php

 

if there is no output there try removing all white space from above the opening <?php tag if there is any

[contraboybish]

Ive tried removing white spaces still get the same error.

 

Is there another way of redirecting instead of using Header?

dunno if it would work, but maybe if you replace header() with

 

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;YOUR-URL-HERE" />

 

but keep in mind... not everyone support this code...

[contraboybish]

Tried this as below.....

 

<?php

require_once('testconnection.php');

$query = "DELETE FROM subscription WHERE subId = {$_POST['id']}";

odbc_exec($odbc, $query) or die (odbc_errormsg());

odbc_close($odbc);

          #header("Location: recorddeleted.php");

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;www.logisticsbusiness.com/library/recorddeleted.php" />

?>

I get the following error........

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in d:\inetpub\logisticsbusiness.com\web\content\library\register_delete.php on line 7

 

I can't believe how difficult it is to redirect!!!

<?php
// <meta> tag is html, you need to echo it!
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;www.logisticsbusiness.com/library/recorddeleted.php" />';
?>

 

If you post your testconnection.php script, we can then see where  the header already sent problem is.

Ive solved it, there was a blank line in my testconnection.php

before the <?php start tag!!!

 

What a numpty.

 

Many thanks guys :-)

We all make mistakes, spotting them is an art form which many of cant see in our own code, take heart - more practice less mistakes, but by hell they get harder to find
