Newbie needs help please

php_Newbie2

Hi I'm kinda new to php and I need a little help with one problem.

I have an if statement and I need to know how to get it to go to a new page if its true.

example:

if (something here) { how to get it to go to the url in here }

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thx in advance.

Before you output any HTML to the screen, you need to do something like this:

<?php
if ($condition == true)
{
	header("Location: http://www.example.com/newpage.php");
}
else
{
	//stay on the same page and do something else
}
?>

Hope that helps!

I made a mistake im gonna add the code in a sec.

php_Newbie2

here is the code for my uploading photos

<?php

$path = "photos/";
$max_size = 200000;

if (!isset($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile'])) exit;

if (is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) {

if ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['size']>$max_size) { echo "File too big!\n"; exit; }

if (($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['type']=="image/gif") || ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['type']=="image/pjpeg") || ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['type']=="image/jpeg")) {

if (file_exists($path . $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'])) { echo "File already exists!\n";  

exit; }

$res = copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $path .
$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name']);
if (!$res) { echo "Upload Failed!\n";
 exit; } else {        //This is where I need the url to go in this else statement
exit; }

} else { echo "Wrong filetype\n"; 
include("footer.html"); exit; }

}

?>

What's the error?

Make sure that you don't have any output (i.e. html, text, whitespace, images, anything visible in a web browser) displayed before the header() function.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent

What is your code? Something is being displayed before you call the header() function that I posted.
