help with session and headers

[countdrac]

for some reason this page does not redirect as it should... very strange...

i have no idea why?!

 

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_GET['redir']))
{
$redir = "?redir=".$_GET['redir'];
$redirIn = $_GET['redir'];
}
else 
{
$redirIn="admin.php";
$redir="?redir=admin.php";
}

if (isset($_SESSION['logged_in']))
{
if ($_SESSION['logged_in'] == 1)
{
	header("Location: admin.php");
}
}
else if (isset($_POST['password']))
{
if ($_POST['password'] == "password")
{
	$_SESSION['logged_in'] = 1;
	header("Location: admin.php");
}
}
?>

 

these headers are never executed?

 

thanks

Well, What happens.. do you get a white screen? an error? Anything?

so what happens is that it just continues to reload the page and doesnt redirect as it should when the correct password is entered

Well, if thats happening then the redirect code is never being executed so,

 

check to see if your form fields have the correct names associated with your php post variables,

so while trying to debug i did this...

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_GET['redir']))
{
$redir = "?redir=".$_GET['redir'];
$redirIn = $_GET['redir'];
}
else 
{
$redirIn="admin.php";
$redir="?redir=admin.php";
}

if (isset($_SESSION['logged_in']))
{
if ($_SESSION['logged_in'] == 1)
{
	echo "logged in... redir ";
}
}
else if (isset($_POST['password']))
{
if ($_POST['password'] == "OApass")
{
	$_SESSION['logged_in'] = 1;
	echo "passwrd logged in... ";
}
}
?>

 

and the echos are executed exactly where they should be!
