doing a simple redirect

[cezell]

I'm setting up a very quick and simple login with one password and I want to do a if else with the value of the password.
In asp, I would just do a simple Response.redirect("") if the password matched or else...

How do I do this with PHP?

[Anon]

Maybe,

Try the PHP variable

$PHP_AUTH_USER --> The login
$PHP_AUTH_PW --> The password

Good luck,

Jacinthe

That is not what he is asking about.

He needs header function.

Example:

header("Location: http://www.yahoo.com");

As with ASP, there should not be any output before this line.

oh
sorry then...

[cezell]

Thanks I've tried that but I got an error...and I'm still getting it...

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\login.php3:9) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\login.php3 on line 15

Line 15 is the header string (redirect)

Maybe I'm not following the correct syntax.

<?

// check login and password
// proceed if correct

if ($login == "neo") if ( $pass == "cool" )
{

header("Location: http://www.yahoo.com");

    }

?>

This is what I'm doing.

Your problem is that there is output before this line.

Like I said - there should not be any output before header line.
Even empty line that is not in the php script body (not between the tags) is an output. An example:

---

<?php
$foo="www.yahoo.com";
?>

<?
header("location: $foo");

?>

will not work, because there is an empty line between two pieces of code.
