Php redirect question...

[nimzie]

I have a page which is all PHP processing. It outputs errors via echo.

 

Since I am using echos for errors, I can not use

header("location:http://wwhatever.com")

after the code to redirect to the HTML page depending on the success of my operation. The user arrives at this page after clicking a submit button. Form action gets me to the page. The page is all PHP right now.

 

What is a good way to get around this? I do need the echos in case there are errors - also to keep the user apprised of what is happening in the processing.

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks,

 

Adam

There is no point echoing anything prior to a redirect as it will not be shown. You need to adjust your logic accordingly.

[ThYGrEaTCoDeR201]

header("refresh: 5; url=www.phpfreaks.com");

 

In this example, the page will be redirected in 5 seconds..This way the user can see the echo's of the errors before being redirected.
