includes and opening new pages?

[rupertbj]

I am making a simple login so that users are forced to give their e-mail address if they want to see any more of the site than the first page.

My problem is when i get to the line

include("emailProb.php");

the previously included file is still loaded on the page.

What I want to happen is for the browser to be reloaded with a new page emailProb.php

Very grateful for any help.

Code below...

      <?php
		if ( !isset( $user ) )
		{
		print "
<form action="; ?>
      <?php print $PHP_SELF?><?php print " method=\"post\" name=\"form1\">
        <table border=0 align=center cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
          <tr> 
		    <td colspan=3 align=center class=blacktext bgcolor=#CC3333>Please register / login to enter...</td>
		  </tr>
		  <tr>
            <td class=blacktext bgcolor=#CC3333>e-mail:</td>
            <td bgcolor=#CC3333><input type=text name=user size=30 class=blacktext></td>
            <td align=center bgcolor=#CC3333><input name=submit type=submit class=blacktext value=submit></td>
          </tr>
        </table>
</form>
      ";
	  }
	  elseif ((!ereg(".+\@.+\..+", $user)) || (!ereg("^[a-zA-Z0-9_@.-]+$", $user)))
	{
    include("emailProb.php");
	exit;
	}
else
	{
	$user_agent = getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
	$IP_address = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
	$db = "register";
	$link = mysql_connect( "localhost:/users/rupertbj/domains/rupstar.co.uk/sql/mysql.sock", "root" );
	if ( !$link ) die( "Couldn't connect to MySQL" );
	mysql_select_db( $db, $link ) or die( "Couldn't open $db: ".mysql_error() );
	$query = "REPLACE INTO userTable VALUES ( '', '$user', now(), '$IP_address', '$user_agent' ) "; 
	mysql_query( $query, $link ); 
	mysql_close( $link );
	print "<div align=center><table width=60% border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
	<tr>
		<td bgcolor=#CC3333><p class=blacktext align=center>You are logged into rupstar.co.uk as:</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td bgcolor=#CC3333><p class=blacktext align=center>"; ?><?php echo $user?><?php print "</p></td>
	</tr>
	</table></div>";
	}
	  ?> <p class=date>

use

header("Location: ./emailProb.php");
instead

[MAN]header[/MAN]

Thanks for your effort, but headers have to be set at the beginning of a file. Therefore, as this is PHP is in the middle of a formatted file, this would not work at all.

Anyway, I solved the problem by rearranging all the bits and inserting some other if statements and it works perfectly.

Thanks all the same.

Actually, headers will work because nothing in the code you have given outputs anything to the browser.

I do my queries with confirm files

If $_GET[confirm]==1 then include query file at top of the page

That way if I need to do a header redirect, it's ok.

[rupertbj]

Yes, but actually as I said, this code does not come at the beginning of the file. Output to the browser has already been sent.

What i was after was if there was a way of loading a new file in the same browser window, without any of the inherited formatting as is received by using an include at this point in the file.

I guess being more specific counts in this forum.
