Yeah it will conflict for sure.

Remove the echo statement.

Why would you want to echo something on one page then redirect to another anyway? It makes no sense. Even if it was plausible, the client would never see it.

You just need to code around it. Your page should be built so that it first performs the logic THEN outputs the HTML.

Something like this:

<?php
 function LoginF($username,$password){
   $output = $username.$password."\n";
   $result=mysql_query("SELECT * from person");

   while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC)){

     if(($username==$row['Username'])&&($password==$row['Password'])){
       $output = "username success\n";
       if($row['Level']=='Boss'){
         header('Location: bossmenu.php');
       }

       if($row['Level']=='Agent'){
         header('Location: agentmenu.php');
       }  	

       if($row['Level']=='Customer'){
         header('Location: customermenu.php');
       }		

       if($row['Level']=='Typist'){
         header('Location: typistmenu.php');
       }	 		
     }
     else {
       $output = "invalid login\n";
     }

   }// end of while loop

   echo $output;

 }//end of function LoginF
?>

No thorpe.. He want to make the code to work in this manner.

if(redirection fails)

{

then echo the message;

}

thats it.

Where do you see that? The code posted shows that IF login passes AND the user is of a specified level THEN he wants to redirect. There is nothing to show that the code is attempting to echo if the redirect fails.

However, if login fails or if the user is not of any of the specified levels THEN the messages should be echo'd to the page.

if fail login then display error msg...if successful login then redirect...

That is perfectly valid logic.

A psuedo example.

<?php

  if ($loginvalid) {
    dologin();
    header('members.php');
  } else {
    echo 'login failed';
  }

?>

However, your code does not follow that same logic.

That is what zgkhoo wants to do .. See his post below yours Mr.mjdamato !!

Ok, I'm not trying to be rude, but you are totally off. You stated

if(redirection fails)
{

then echo the message;

}

zgkhoo stated

if fail login then display error msg

Those are NOT the same. Login failing and Redirection failing are two different things. Off Topic: can you even test if a redirection fails?

@zgkhoo Did you try the code I posted? I think it will do what you want.
