Can't sent header and redirecting problem

Anon

Hello!

I have a file called sign_up.html which contains a form.
After the form has been filled in a script is called: sign_up.php3. This script verifies the form elements. Is everything OK then a new page has to be loaded / called: edit_cv.php3.

I have tried to use the following code:

$redir = getenv( "edit_cv.php3");
header( "Location: http://www.blabla.com/$redir");

But this gives an error saying: Cannot add more header information - the header was already sent...

How can I load the next page called edit_cv.php3 with some information like the username and password? (ie. edit_cv.php3?Username=$Username....)

Thanks in advance!

Try this....

echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"0;
URL=./edit_cv.php3?Username=$Username
I've find this works in any redir.

with some slight changes this code works, but...

edit-cv.php3 wants to use data from sign-up.php3

edit-cv.php3 contains the lines:
print $Username and print $Password
which have to print the username and password from sign-up.php3 and after that a query has to be executed with those variables.

When I use:
print "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='3;URL=edit-cv.php3'>"; or
print "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='3;URL=edit-cv.php3?Username=$Username&Password=$Password'>";
an error occurs saying:

Fatal error: Unable to open d:\usr\www\atlas-group\website\careercenter\edit-cv.php3 in - on line 0
No input file specified.

What can I do?

BTW:

sign-up.html (contains a form) -->
sign-up.php3 (to check this form) -->
edit-cv.php3 (where the query has to be execute and the variables have to be used).

Why not just combine sign-up.php3 and edit-cv.php3. Then if if you run aquery to authenticate the username and password.

you could use if authenticated {
run the page
}
else {
header("Location: sign-up.html");
}

Of course my exact wording in the above code would need to be changed to check the result of an actual query.

Remenber... you are print HTML to the browser to compile and display, so i think " around
http-equiv='refresh' are needed, like this http-equiv=\"refresh\".
content=\"3;URL=edit-cv.php3?Username=$Username&Password=$Password\".

There's a problem to this. A hit of the ol' reload button would sign up the last person that visited the page on that particular computer unless the browser is closed. Use a processing script in between the phases that does nothing but authenticate the user then header('Location: new_page_name_here') or header('Location: signup.html') in order to prevent this. If you need to pass variables to the next part of the script, use sessions. Sessions are stored on the remote server so they are not dependent on cookies.
