variables loosing content....

[stew]

   $parentID = null;
    $parentType = null;
    $user;
    if(!isLoggedIn())
    {
        header("Location: ".$this->getHeader("community","login",null,null,null,null,"mustBeLoggedIn"));die;
    }
    else
    {
        $user = getSessionUser();
     }
    if(array_key_exists("id2",$_GET))
    {
        if(ctype_digit($_GET["id2"]))
        {
            $parentID = $_GET["id2"];
        }
    }
    if(array_key_exists("id1",$_GET))
    {
        if($_GET["id1"] == "photo" || $_GET["id1"] == "gig" || $_GET["id1"] == "diary" || $_GET["id1"] == "news") {
            $parentType = $_GET["id1"];
            }
    }
    //print $parentID.$parentType;
    if(!isset($parentID) || !isset($parentType))
    {
        header("Location: ". $this->getHeader("pictures",null,null,null,null,null,"badPhotoGig"));  die;
    }

the above code seems to have some error in it somewhere...

the block of code inside the last if statement is executed whenever the print statement is commented out, but is not executed when the script prints out $parentID and $parentType.

anyone have any ideas why?

cheers

the header function cannot be called after any output is sent to the browser, so by calling print, you are making it so you cant call header. this does usually generate an error, but the level or error reporting may have it supressed.
