redirecting trouble with IExplore

yostyid

Well, I am stumped.. I am trying to set up a simple login page. It works in mozilla, netscape, opera and just about any other browsre..except Internet explorer.

login.php has a form that takes in $login and $passwd. this form is posted to cust_login.php. cust_login.php runs sql and then :

if (!$row_count == 1)
{ header("Location:
login.php?Message=Invalid");
exit;
}

else
{ header("location:
cust_home.php?username=$login");
exit;
}

The result in IE is that the user is redirected to index.php!?! When I comment out the if/else, I can echo $login and $passwd to the cust_login.php, so the variables are fine. But it wont redirect correctly with the if/else. Any ideas would be great.

Thanks, justin

Try using Location with the L capital, I had problems once because the case of my letters and you shouls use.
Location: http://yourserver.com/your_php_page.php

I hope that works, you can check the header man page-

Thanks, I tried switching to 'L' but no luck. Full url didn't work either...

well, i figured it out...I guess. I think I had too much space between 'Location:' and the url. I backed up the url onto the same line, and it worked. thanks for your input though..

That's weird, check you're not sending anything to the client, not even a single line, and if you're doing that or need to do that check the output_buffering value in the PHP script.

This IS an Explorer only issue. However, I have seem to have found an interesting point to consider.

I have 2 "if" clauses that redirect according to the if values. It works great in everything but Explorer.

Yet, in Explorer, one of the functions works perfectly:

WORKS IN IE:

if($HTTP_POST_VARS['setweeks']){
	header("Location: URL/file.php?rownum=".$HTTP_POST_VARS['rownumber']."&weeknum=".$HTTP_POST_VARS['multiweek']."#weeksarea");
	exit;
}

DOESN'T WORK IN IE:

if($HTTP_POST_VARS['addaline']){
	if(!$HTTP_POST_VARS['rownumber']) {
		header("Location: URL/file.php?rownum=2&weeknum=".$HTTP_POST_VARS['weeknumber']."#linesarea");
		exit;
        }else{
		$newrownum = $HTTP_POST_VARS['rownumber'];
                $newrownum++;
		header("Location: URL/file.php?rownum=".$newrownum."&weeknum=".$HTTP_POST_VARS['weeknumber']."#linesarea");
		exit;
	}
}

GOT IT!

IT DIDN'T WORK IN IE WHEN THE SUBMIT TYPE WAS AN IMAGE, BUT AS TYPE "SUBMIT" IT WORKS!

(So, when submitting something for a header redirect, use a regular button so that IE doesn't screw it up for you)
