konsu

does the page you posted always respond with http redirect?

AsianGuyJTran

it only redirects the user if they are not logged in. its based off of phpBB

konsu

if you get the error about headers being sent when you are supposed to respond with a redirect it means that by the time you invoke your redirect code you have already output something to the client.

AsianGuyJTran

here is what my error_log says

[client 69.229.8.247] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/myspace.AsianStyleTech.com/layoutPreview/layoutBrowser.php:29) in /home/myspace.AsianStyleTech.com/phpBB/includes/functions.php on line 804, referer: http://www.myspaceresource.com/layoutPreview/topFrame.php?topic_id=12

i just want a plain old title instead of myspaceresource.com/layoutPreview/topFrame.php?topic_id=12

konsu

there is an error in your page. you output contents and then try to redirect. it has nothing to do with the title. to set a title, use <title> inside <header> in your html markup.

AsianGuyJTran

here's the code now:

<html>
<head>
<title>the myspace resource: LIVE layout preview browser v.1</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
// standard hack prevent
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = '../phpBB/';
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);

// standard session management
$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, layout_browser);
init_userprefs($userdata);

//
// The user is not authed, if they're not logged in then redirect
// them, else show them an error message
//
if ( !$is_auth[$is_auth_type] )
{
	if ( $userdata['session_logged_in'] )
	{

//start
$topic_id = $_POST[topic_id];
if (isset($topic_id)){
echo("
<frameset rows=\"131,*\" framespacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" frameborder=\"no\">
	<frame name=\"layoutSelection\" src=\"./topFrame.php?topic_id=$topic_id\" marginheight=\"10\" noresize frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">
	<frame name=\"layoutPreview\" src=\"./layoutPreview_phpBB.php?topic_id=$topic_id\" marginheight=\"10\" noresize frameborder=\"no\">
</frameset>
");
}else{
echo ("
<frameset rows=\"131,*\" framespacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" frameborder=\"no\">
	<frame name=\"layoutSelection\" src=\"./topFrame.php?topic_id=$topic_id\" marginheight=\"10\" noresize frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">
	<frame name=\"layoutPreview\" src=\"./layoutPreview_phpBB.php?topic_id=$topic_id\" marginheight=\"10\" noresize frameborder=\"no\">
</frameset>
");
}
//end

}

	switch( $mode )
{
	case 'newtopic':
		$redirect = "mode=newtopic&" . POST_FORUM_URL . "=" . $forum_id;
		break;
	case 'reply':
	case 'topicreview':
		$redirect = "mode=reply&" . POST_TOPIC_URL . "=" . $topic_id;
		break;
	case 'quote':
	case 'editpost':
		$redirect = "mode=quote&" . POST_POST_URL ."=" . $post_id;
		break;
}

redirect(append_sid("login.$phpEx?redirect=../layoutPreview/layoutBrowser.php" . $redirect, true));
}
?>
</body>
</html>

and i get this:

😕

konsu

as i said, the cause of these errors is your invocations of the echo() procedure before you redirect.

AsianGuyJTran

okay. so i put

echo ("<title>the myspace resource: LIVE layout preview browser v.1</title>");

as the very first thing. and it works. however the error still presists. any ideas?

konsu

i think we have a misunderstanding.

if your page outputs something using echo, or by having html markup around <?php ?> tags, and later your php code attempts to redirect this page somewhere, you will get this error. you can either not output anything when you need to redirect, or enable output buffering.

#=> terminate the buffer and purge it so it will not get sent
  ob_end_clean();

?>

Utilizes the Buffer Output Controls and only outputs the content if needed...doesn't take care of any other headers/cookies phpBB may send, fyi

Hope this may help
