Redirecting

[liquidchild]

Guys I am trying to redirect to another page using the following:

if( $GET['command'] == "showCurrentPostings" )
{
//fetch the job postings for this company
$currentPostings = getPostings( $POST['company']);
}
else if( $GET['command'] == "showPosting" )
{
//Redirect to allow them to edit job
$posting_id = $POST['posting'];

//Close the database connection
mysql_close();

//Clean the buffer, guards againist headers already sent errors
ob_end_clean();

header( "location: login.php?id=$posting_id" );

exit();

echo "hi";

}

It prints out the hi, but onto the current page and does redirect! What am i doing wrong? I have used this header function else where and it works!

header("Location: URI")
should only be used with an absolute URI.

sorry should have said, took that part out to try and see if i could get even an error message, but even with this line:

header( "location: [url]http://[/url]" . $SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname( $SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ) . "/employer.php" );

It does not do anything :rolleyes:

Let's test:

<?php
if (isset($_GET['id'])) {
	switch ($_GET['id']) {
	case 1:
		header("Location: http://www.example.com");
		break;
	case 2:
		header("Location: http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
			. dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . "/employer.php"); 
		break;
	case 3:
		header("Location: http://www.phpbuilder.com/forum/");
		break;
	default:
		echo 'Invalid ID';
	}
	exit;
} else {
	echo '<a href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?id=1">example.com</a><br>'
		. '<a href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?id=2">employer.php</a><br>'
		. '<a href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?id=3">phpbuilder.com/forum/</a>';
}
?>

EDIT: left some unwanted code inside
