Calling a webpage - header() is no good

[lobobr]

Greetings.

I'm trying to make my PHP code call another page in a certain point of the code.

After a little research I've found the header() function and my code ended up like this:

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

My problem is that my code is embedded in a HTML page so it already has a header and the function doesn't work.

Anyone know a workaround for this? I'm in a hurry with this problem, so any thoughts would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

err what do you want to happen from the users perspective? Do you want them to see some stuff, and then suddenly jerk them to another page? Ehh?

I'm actually calling a CGI script.

It's kinda long story, but believe me I need to call the script on a certain point of the PHP code.

So, any thoughts?

You should do all queries and requests before you pass a page header. Especially if it concerns Cookies and Headers.

I suggest you reformat the code so you can seperate the code from the html as best as possible.

Call the cgi script with the fopen() function. You can read the rusults with feof() and fgets() and output what you want to the browser.
