Need help with meta frefresh stuff plz.

[Richardtagger]

Hi, i have some pages that only registered members can view. If the session Logged = 0 meta frefresh to fail.php . This works, but it loads the protected page then decides about 5 seconds later you cant access that page, i know its because meta refresh is slow, what can i use instead? Thanx

my code is like this:

<?php session_start();
if($_SESSION['logged_in'] == 0)
echo'<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://ss.shotgunforum.com/fail.php"> ';
else {}
?>

Thanx again.

something along the lines of:
header("Location: fail.php");

i had that but it says headers already sent out by XXXXX etc.

you need to use header() before any output is written, i.e. echo and print statements, and other sort of clientside output, including blank lines at the top of the script.
