how to redirect in PHP

mattastic

Hi,

I've tried searching for similar threads but I don't understand them. Can someone explain how redirects work in PHP?

I've tried using:

header("Location: http://www.bbc.co.uk/");

but get the following error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\addEvent.php:1) in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\addEvent.php on line 52

TIA

this question is asked a thousand times a day. you cannot use the header() function after any output (html, echo's, blank space) has been sent to the browser.

OK thanks, how could I redirect a user after a query?

Sorry but I'm used to Coldfusion. 😕

<?

header("Location: http://www.bbc.co.uk/");

?>

should work fine.....
