redirect troubles

blckspder

Im missing something in this code I keep getting an error for the header

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\Domains\sousaink.com\wwwroot\pennyspder\config.php:7) in C:\Domains\sousaink.com\wwwroot\pennyspder\guestbook.php on line 22

here is my code

<?php

include("config.php");
include("opendb.php");

//Pull variables from form
$name = $_POST['name'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$website = $_POST['website'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];
$submit = $_POST['submit'];

//Check to see if form is submitted
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

//put info into database
$queryinsert = "INSERT INTO psguestbook (gbname, gbsubject, gbemail, gburl, gbcomments, date_posted) VALUES ('$name','$subject','$email','$website','$comments',NOW())";

mysql_query($queryinsert);

//redirect them to the guestbook viewing page
	header("location:http://pennyspder.sousaink.com/guestbookview.php");
	exit();

}
?>

Maybe because its late but I for the life of can't figure it out... and Ive done much more advanced stuff then this before...... :bemused:

I Figured it out I had the open database and configuration files included in the wrong section of the script! lol Thanks anyways 😃

You cannot print anything before the header() statement. Even a blank line before the <?php ?> will break it.

As a debug, put in this line:


// test output  

printf('[headers_sent=%d]', headers_sent());
exit;
//
header("location:http://pennyspder.sousaink.com/guestbookview.php");
exit();

Look at the output and you will probably see some whitespace before "[headers_..."
