PHP+Opening Page Questions

[Langridge]

Hi all, I am a little bit stuck on something I am working on at the moment. Heres the problem:

I am running a login procedure that works like this

if the form hasnt been submitted
{
display the form
}
elseif (ie it has been submitted)
{
check the user exists etc etc
}
else (ie if the user does exist etc)
{
Open A new page
}

*It is the Opening of the new page that doesnt seem to work. in the past ive always used "header("Location:pagename.php");" and that has worked fine, but now it just returns an error saying the header info has already been sent.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice or any alternatives to using the header function...(something that will open a different page, but not in a new window).

Any help is much appreciated,
Thanks,
Andrew

hi,

you can try:

<script>
window.location="http://..../anywhere.php";
</script>

outside the <? ?> tags of course.
it works fine.

Instead of going for a much slower and much less reliable method (ie. the Javascript), check what's gone wrong with the code, as outlined here.

In short, find out what it's sending before the headers and stop it.
