This code does not "refresh" the user to main.php but rather back to login.php.

And yes, this is only an IE 7 problem, im completely flustered

Why not just use the header function?

<?php

header("location: main.php");

?>

thefreebielife · June 20, 2007

so instead of this:

<?php

echo "<b><Center>You Have Now Been Logged In</center></b>";
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=main.php">';

?>

use this?:

<?php

echo "<b><Center>You Have Now Been Logged In</center></b>";
header("location: main.php");

?>

redarrow · June 20, 2007

also this will refresh in 2 seconds.

example.

<?php
echo "<b><Center>You Have Now Been Logged In</center></b>";
header('refresh; 2; url=main.php');
?>

thefreebielife · June 20, 2007

error im getting:

*Warning*: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
(output started at /home/primod/public_html/mcd/mcd/login.php:58) in
*/home/primod/public_html/mcd/mcd/login.php* on line *105*

like 58 is my first image sliced link

also this will refresh in 2 seconds.

example.

<?php
echo "<b><Center>You Have Now Been Logged In</center></b>";
header('refresh; 2; url=main.php');
?>

<?php

header('refresh; 2; url=main.php');

exit();

?>

ASTIG!!!

just to be sure that it will not read your echo thing

thefreebielife · June 20, 2007

now its not even refreshing in firefox :-\

teng84 · June 20, 2007

but at least it works on IE lol

try to remove the exit

lupld · June 20, 2007

Just to be redundant, make sure the header comes before any html in the page, that includes the <html> tag... or you get a header error... there's a big article about it on the top of the help page...

The refresh tag works fine in IE, I just checked... I had that problem too.. you can't have it echo up there, you have to make sure it echo's back or is written inside the head tag in IE... Like this is what I use in my login script...

<?
session_start();
if(!session_is_registered("username")){
header("location:http://www.example.com/login.php");
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Logged In</title>
<LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="color.css" TYPE="text/css">
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" Content="3; URL=home.php">
</head>

<body><div align="center"><div style="height: 210px;"></div>
<h1>Hello <? echo $_SESSION['username']; ?>! You are now Logged in.</h1>
<h3>If you are not automatically forwarded to the homepage, <a href="home.php">Click Here.</a></h3>
</div></body>
</html>

But you'd probably want to ignore the header part, cause you're having issues with headers...
