conditional redirection after headers sent

Simplyput

I have this code where I am trying to redirect to another page if the following criteria is not met. Headers are already sent to the client so I tried header and this did not work. What am I doing wrong with this code?

$fMemberProfile = f(q("select status from dt_profile where member_id='$fMember[id]'"));

if($fMemberProfile['status'] == 1 || $fMemberProfile['status'] == 3 || $fMemberProfile['status'] == 5) {
$steps_done++;
$pro_lb = $pro_le="";

}
 else{
            $URL="http://www.example.com/index.php?page=create_profile";
            Redirect:("$URL");

    }

At the very top of the PHP file add "ob_start()" after <?php and at the very bottom before ?> add "ob_flush()". Doing that, you can use header() even if you already did use echoes

What is this?

Redirect:("$URL");

Do you have a function defined called Redirect() ? Why the colon? Why the quotes? If this really is a call to a function it should look like...

Redirect($URL);

Maybe if you showed us the code for Redirect() aswell?

The

Redirect:("$URL");

was a piece I stole off of the official php website. The original redirect code (not from offical website) that I was using as an example was.

<?php

$URL="http://www.example.com";

header ("Location: $URL");

?>

However, this did not work due to the header being sent to the client, so there is no code for the redirect.

 Redirect:("$URL");

Where? That's not legitimate PHP.

However, this did not work due to the header being sent to the client, so there is no code for the redirect.

Nothing's stopping you sending multiple headers. What will stop you from sending additional headers is if you send something that goes after the headers (which there certainly shouldn't be if you're going to be sending a redirect header).

Don't send that whatever it is and you'll be able to continue sending headers.
