Using header()

[Anon]

Is there any other way of re-directing to a page besides using the header()?

header() used to work, but when I altered my PHP file to use include_once instead of include I get the following error...

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\CtrlMySQL.inc:1) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Redirect.inc on line 1

Any clue?
Thanks.

Hi Clarence,

You MUST send headers before any other printable content is sent. Try to use the function near the top of the page, and make sure you have no unecessary spaces and/or line breaks.

Cheers,

David

Or go to your php.ini file and change "output_buffering = Off" to On and you can send headers whenever you want.

BTW: This will also improve the performance of your scripts which echo alot of data.

i use javascript redirects.

<pre>
function goHere($here){
$js_printer="window.location='$here'";
print("<script>$js_printer</script>");
}
</pre>

Thanks to everyone. I've read and learnt some HTTP stuffs. So I turn on and off buffering using functions like ob_start().
