Redirect a page

mixx22

i need help with a redirection of a page. i'm trying to get a user to enter his login name and password and i check to see if they are correct. If they are i want to redirect them to a different page. I keep getting an error that says headers already sent

vfwood

an easy way to redirect a user is with javascript:

document.location.href='loggedin.php';

</script>

i keep reading that javascript is not the way to go. but i will try this and let you know if it does what i need it to do. Will it allow me to write this in the middle of my html page?

You need to make sure that the headers are the first thing sent: (rough example below)

//userauth.php
<?
// perform user verification here
if($valid_user)
{
// note no browser output yet
Header("Location: enter.php") ;
exit;
}
else
{
// start browser output
?>

<body>
Incorrect login. Please <a href="login.php">try again</a>.
</body>

<? } ?>
