Page loads only after refresh

[Apyvala]

Hi,

i have a website on three speeches - Lithuania ( lt ), English ( en ) and Russian ( ru ). Website on one server works perfect, but on another server not.

In index file i have such code:

if (!session_is_registered("speech")) {
if ($_SESSION['speech'] == "") {
session_register("speech");
$_SESSION['speech'] = "lt";
}

that is, default speech is lt. Moreower i have three links:

<a href="change_speech.php?speech=lt" class="speech">LT</a> <a href="change_speech.php?speech=en" class="speech">EN</a> <a href="change_speech.php?speech=ru" class="speech">RU</a>

My change_speech.php file looks:

<?php
session_start();

$_SESSION['speech'] = $_GET['speech'];

header ("Location: index.php");
?>


The problem: when i push on links "LT", "EN" or "RU" i see white page, i need to push F5 ( to refresh page ) than i could see the page.
This problem occurs only on one server, on another server i haven't such problem.

Any ideas?

maybe it has something to do with the way your php.ini file is configured but I don't know how to help with that.

try exit(); after the header call in change_speech.php. I have found that you have to force some browsers to do that header function.

Thank you for suggestions. But my website doesn't work well after the you suggested changes.

I has perceived an interesting thing. I am using:

HTML code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />


then i change it to:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=win-1257" />


Than the website works well. Hmmm... it is very interesting for me.

win-1257 - Lithuanian encoding

When using sessions, make sure you have [code]<?php session_start(); ?>[/code] at the start of each script where sessions are being used. Do not use the functions session_is_registered() and session_register(). Instead use [code]<?php if (!isset($_SESSION['var])) ?>[/code] for [code]<?php if (!session_is_registered('var') ?>[/code]

So your index.php code should look something like:
[code]<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['speech']) || (isset($_SESSION['speech']) && $_SESSION['speech'] == '')))
     $_SESSION['speech'] = 'lt';
?>[/code]

In your change_speech.php code, you should do something like:
[code]<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['speech'] = (isset($_GET['speech']))?$_GET['speech']:'lt';
?>[/code]

Thank you very much for much for help.
My page works perfect when i replace:

session_start();

to

if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
}
