redirecting to another .php file

[Machi]

Heres what I'm trying to do:

I have a form

<form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>"  method="post" name="registration" id="registration">

I also have some validations for the form, if all the data passes the validation, I want to go to another file called register.php

I tried to put <form action"register.php".... but in this case, it will skip my validation and go straight to the register.php.

How can I go to redirect/point to another file, other than <form action=>?

Thanks 🙂

Try header()

hmm tried it, it says headers already sent.

My form and the validation code is on the same file. If there are any validation errors, it will print out a list of errors. If there are no errors, then go to register.php.

The HTTP status header line will always be the first sent to the client.
You must send this before anything else.
A solution in your case might be to add:

ob_start(); //at the very top of your code

and

ob_end_flush(); //at the very bottom

That worked! Thanks!

Oh, in this case, should session_start go before ob_start?

[chrima]

ob_start() before session_start()
