location...why can't i do this?

vaska

i don't know many methods for getting the same thing to work...so i'll just post my question...

there's much more script...this is just part of it...but the "header..." gives me this error message...

"Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/domains/form2.php:5) in /home/domains/form2.php on line 198"

if ($success)
		{
		header("Location: thanks.php");

	} else {
		// ERROR uploading...
		if($my_uploader->errors) {
			while(list($key, $var) = each($my_uploader->errors)){
			echo $var . "<br>";
		}
		}
	}
}

line 198 is just html code...

i'm rather confused...any ideas?

thanks...jv

you cannot have any code that outputs anything to the screen before the line with the header code.
this includes html code, print or echo statements or even blank lines

or you might want to see this link

hi,
precisely you must have NO output before header(), even HTML.
In fact header() sends a HTTP header, but if you already started to output some text (in HTML or with echo, print, die, etc.) before the header(), the HTTP header WON'T be sent, because it has already been sent just before the output...
Conclusion : your redirections (with header()) shall always be placed BEFORE any text output.

hope it's clear 🙂

oh wait...

might this in any way be why i can't use sendmail too near this same spot?

mail($myemail, $subject, $body, $headers) or die ("No send");

??????????????????
