Redirection

[SiMZ]

Hi,

I want to know how to redirect to a new page within the same virtual host. Like redirecting from one page to another which will look for the new page in the current directory rather than giving the whole path of the page.

not so sure I understand you here, but I think you want a header redirect?

header("Location: newpage.php");

[SiMZ]

Sorry it is virtual directory not virtual host.
Want to move to other pages of the site on localhost.

the location header will still work just fead it hte url (relative or absolute) and it'll get the job done for you.

I get this error for the following line2 of code:

$dest = "newsletter.php?pg=$curPg";
header("Location: $dest");

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at E:\Projects\code\admin\process_newsletter.php:2) in E:\Projects\code\admin\process_newsletter.php on line 84

I does not redirect to another page. Please check this!

You can't output anything before the header() call.

You can use this if you want to process php headers before the redirect:

<? if($you want to redirect) { ?>
<script language=javascript>
window.location ='<? echo $dest ; ?>';
</script>
<? } ?>

Yes I have been redirecting through javascript code, but I want to learn the way in PHP.

[groovything]

i use php sometimes, but if i want to redirect after the headers are written, I have to use javascript.

I dont know if there is a way to do it in php after headers are written.

[LordShryku]

Nope. Not that I know of. header redirection is the PHP way. <meta> for HTML, many different javascripts.

Hrmm this works perfectly fine for me, although I do get a 404 error because that page does not exist on my web server, evan when I changed the link assigned to $dest it worked perfectly fine.

<?
$dest = "newsletter.php?pg=$curPg";
header("Location: $dest"); 
?>

[SiMZ]

ok slaya, can you please tell me the simpliest code of complete page which works fine?

[slaya]

That is the complete code, and it does work, atleast for me..

[Moonglobe]

SiMZ, you're obviously echo() or print()ing something before the call to header(). if you're not, check for whitespace before the <?php. that will cause that error.

[LordShryku]

Exacly. Back to my first post here, you're whole entire page, nothing else, guarenteed to work

<? header("Location: newpage.php"); ?>
