i am using a password protected member page, this is working to the point that i can validate someone and return a page that show that login is a success and a link to the protected page. What i'm looking for is a way to skip the link and redirect me to that page imediatly. What i use now =

print(
"<h3>Success!</h3><br> <a href=\"front.php\">
Click here to access Member section</a>"
);

How can i go directly to front.php without showing the print thingy?

From the php manual :

/ Redirect browser to PHP web site /
header ("Location: http://www.php.net");

/ Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. /
exit;

Change php.net to your front.php and be sure header is called before any output to the page is done, so you will have to lose the "Success" statement.

Another non-PHP way would be to use a META tag redirect on front.php or to use a javascript redirect on front.php.

How to call header?

i want to replace the whole section:

print(
"<h3>Success!</h3><br> <a href=\"front.php\">
Click here to access Member section</a>"
);

I am new to PHP so i guessed i had to do like this:

print(
header
);

But this gives the next error

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at G:/leren/password_authenticator.php:3) in G:/leren/password_authenticator.php on line 7

Just do this
<?
//do your validation here
if ($is_validated) {
header ("Location: http://www.php.net");
} else {
print("<h2>Oh no you don't!<h2>
}
?>

Remember to check the validation on the php.net page or the user could bookmark it!'
