Redirection Help

[coxy]

Hi all,

The following script performs some mysql functions and once its done I want it to redirect to another page but the methods I have tried do not seem to work. I think this may be because my page calls other script before trying the redirect. I have put a line of ******* where I want the redirection to take place. Thanks in advance for your help !

if(!($_POST['title']==""))
{
mysql_query("update $table set flag='' where flag='C'");
mysql_query("update $table set flag='C' where flag='B'");
mysql_query("update $table set flag='B' where flag='A'");

if(mysql_query("insert into $table (Ntitle, Ndate, Narticle,flag) values ('$POST[title]','$POST[date]','$POST[news]', 'A')"))
{
echo ('<h1>News Updated:</h1><br><br><b>Title: </b>'.$POST['title'].'<br><br><b>Date: </b>'.$POST['date'].'<br><br><b>Article: </b>'.$POST['news']);
redirect******************************************************

}
else
{
echo ('Failed to update news');

}
}

Hi,

I'd suggest to use

if(isset($POST['title']) && !empty($POST['title']))

instead of

if(!($_POST['title']==""))

About the header problem:

There mustn't be any output prior to a header function call so remove at least the echo lines. Additionally, make sure that there are no empty (or not empty) lines outside any PHP blocks prior to the header function call.
