[RESOLVED] page not redirecting - redirect2page('members.php');

[Pixelate]

Hello,

I have the same software installed on two servers:
works: http://developdesign.com/samples/modelagency/index.php
not working: http://killertalent.com/index.php

1 example - login as 'mat / matt'
One developdesign.com page you get directed to 'members.php' page if logged in, but one killertalent.com page you get error ( or if using Firefox you go to "http://killertalent.com/processors/login.php" page )

The processors/login.php page is supposed to redirect to either 'members.php' if logged in or 'index.php' if need to register.

CODE for login.php page with redirect code:

<?session_start();
require("../includes/vars.inc.php");
require("../includes/functions.inc.php");
require("../includes/templates.inc.php");
require("../includes/apt_functions.inc.php");

$topass=array();
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST') {
	$user=addslashes_mq($_POST['username']);
	$pass=addslashes_mq($_POST['password']);
	if (isset($user) && !empty($user) &&  isset($pass) && !empty($pass)) {
		db_connect();
		$query="SELECT user_id,name,membership,is_approved FROM users WHERE user='$user' AND pass='$pass'";
		if (!($res=mysql_query($query))) {error(mysql_error(),__LINE__,__FILE__);}
		if (mysql_num_rows($res)) {
			list($user_id,$name,$membership,$is_approved)=mysql_fetch_row($res);
			$_SESSION['user_id']=$user_id;
			$_SESSION['name']=$name;
			$_SESSION['membership']=$membership;
			$_SESSION['is_approved']=$is_approved;
			$query="UPDATE users SET last_visit=now() WHERE user_id='$user_id'";
			if (!($res=mysql_query($query))) {error(mysql_error(),__LINE__,__FILE__);}
			if (defined('_PCPIN_CHAT_')) {
				$is_admin='no';
				if ($membership==_ADMINLEVEL_) {
					$is_admin='yes';
				}
				@mysql_query("INSERT INTO pcpin_users SET user='$user',lastping='".time()."',ip='".getenv('REMOTE_ADDR')."',language='english',color='#000000',level='$is_admin',sid='".session_id()."'");
				$date_time = date('YmdHis');
				@mysql_query("INSERT into pcpin_logins SET date_time='$date_time',user='$user', ip='".getenv('REMOTE_ADDR')."', password='$pass'");
				$date_time = date('d').".".date('m').".".date('Y')." ".date('H').":".date('i').":".date('s');
				@mysql_query("UPDATE pcpin_registered_users SET last_visit='$date_time',last_ip='".getenv('REMOTE_ADDR')."' WHERE user='$user'");
			}
			redirect2page('members.php');
		} else {
			$topass['message']='Invalid user or pass. Please try again!';
		}
	} else {
		$topass['message']='Invalid user or pass. Please try again!';
	}
}
redirect2page("index.php",$topass);
?>

The server configuration info:
http://developdesign.com/phpinfo.php
http://killertalent.com/phpinfo.php
Is it that the Server API on developdesign.com is Apache and the Server API on killertalent.com is CGI/FastCGI?
Is it that developdesign.com uses Zend Optimizer and killertalent.com uses
eAccelerator?

Software says important to have one important directive for the directory where your installation is:
AllowOverride All
How do I tell if this directive is setup?

Any ideas?

Is it a CGI/FastCGI vs Apache setup issue?

Since I'm being lazy (and since my main computer is offline for a defrag, so I can't access my TCP sniffer)...

What theck heck is this redirect2page() function? What does it do? Show us the function declaration for that.

function redirect2page($pagename,$topass=array(),$qstring="",$full_url=false) {
	if (!empty($pagename)) {
		if (!$full_url) {
			$redirect=_BASEURL_."/".$pagename;
			$separator="?";
			if (SID!="") {
				$redirect.=$separator.SID;
				$separator="&";
			}
			if (!empty($qstring)) {
				$redirect.=$separator.$qstring;
				$separator="&";
			}
		} else {
			$redirect=$pagename;
		}
		if (isset($topass) && !empty($topass)) {
			$_SESSION['topass']=$topass;
		}
		header("Status: 303 See Other",true);
		header("Location: $redirect",true);
	} else {
		error("No page specified for redirect",__LINE__,__FILE__);
	}
	exit;
}

What if you comment out this line:

header("Status: 303 See Other",true);

and try that on the broken server? Does that work?

EDIT: Login just worked for me on killertalant.com... "Hello, matt, Thanks for stopping by!" Using IE6.

Thanks for checking. I was trying an option that another forum gave me, but it didn't entirely work. I've changed it back now.

Here's the code option I was given:

with:
PHP Code:
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=index.php" />';
and replace:
PHP Code:
redirect2page("members.php");
with:
PHP Code:
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=members.php" />';

You are a Master!!

commenting out the " header("Status: 303 See Other",true); " code fixed it.
