a header question

Anon

ok, I have a page which I am protecting, so you need to login to be able to pass through. After you login, a session starts with the user name and password variables stored in the session...on the page I am protecting, i have a little 'if' statement checking to see if the variables are there or not...if they aren't, I use the header function to send them off to a login page. The problem is, my site layout depends on includes, and since the page I am protecting is an include to a larger page (which has other headers), how can I redirect them without getting the stupid error -- Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at ***/apache/htdocs/palmetto/index.php:108) in info_submit.php on line 5 -- ...i hope the question is clear....thanks

Open php.ini file which is normally located
in C;\windows directory change the set out put buffring=on
You can also change page wise wise I can not remember that above one applies for all files

output_buffering=On

That is a bad idea.
Especially since you forgot to tell the poor guy that if he does that, he'll have to put in an ob_end_flush.

Personally, I wish they hadn't added that feature to the php.ini, since ob is still very new and seems to have some issues.

in the script that you want that to happen in, you can start your output buffering like so:

<?
ob_start()

//do a bunch of stuff//

//set ALL your headers...

//and pipe them out to the browser
flush();

// do some more stuff...

//and exit...
ob_end_flush();
?>
