[Resolved] [Resolved] Headers still causing problems

furious5

I've posted a query for the past couple of evenings, but still not got anywhere.

Basically I am trying to validate information passed from a form, to do this I have created a error checking function (signup), which allows me to return any errors back to the same screen the form is contained on.

My problem comes when trying to the redirect the user once the form is completed succesfully. Basically I have had a number of header errors thrown out because of the use of includes. Someone did suggest using ob_start, and call back the header at the top of the page but I have found this does not work.

Anyone got any ideas?

?php
function callback(){
	header("Location: [url]http://www.example.co.uk/confirm.php[/url]"); 
}

// Get Posted Variables
$process = $HTTP_POST_VARS['process'];
$name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['name'];
$dob1 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['dob1'];
$dob2 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['dob2'];
$dob3 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['dob3'];
$location = $HTTP_POST_VARS['location'];
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
$username = $HTTP_POST_VARS['username'];
$password1 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['password1'];
$password2 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['password2'];

// Include Files
include("includes/mail.php");
include("includes/functions.php");

$errors = Signup($process, $name, $dob1, $dob2, $dob3, $location, $email, $username, $password1, $password2);

?>

HTML & FORM HERE

<?php

if($errors == 3){
	ob_start("callback");
}

?>

What about:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

// Get Posted Variables
$process = $_POST['process'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$dob1 = $_POST['dob1'];
$dob2 = $_POST['dob2'];
$dob3 = $_POST['dob3'];
$location = $_POST['location'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password1 = $_POST['password1'];
$password2 = $_POST['password2'];

$errors = Signup($process, $name, $dob1, $dob2, $dob3, $location, $email, $username, $password1, $password2);

if($errors == 3){
header("Location: put/url/here"); 
} else {
// Include Files
include("includes/mail.php");
include("includes/functions.php");
} } else { 

//do form stuff

}
?>

Thanks for taking the time to reply, unfortunately signup() is contained within functions.php, if I was to run this code the only thing I would get is an function undefined error.

The simplest way would be to put all the error checking in one page, but I am trying to create self contained functions I can use throughout the rest of the site.

Anyone else got some last ditch ideas?

Read this

You should see what your doing wrong.

You need to have ob_start(); at the top of the page, and call your call back funtion like this: callback();

Unless I am reading wrong, which is possible with the amount of sleep I have had lately 😉

Ah finally got it working, after reading through that example in some more details.

Thanks for your time, knew there must have been a way to get this working 😃
