[RESOLVED] On Dagons advice here is my code:

LiamBailey

I am tyring to send visitors to diffrent pages depending on the radio button the select -- here is my HTML form

AND here is the php of cardverse2.php

<?
$verse_size = $_POST['verse_size'];
$smallurl = "small.html";
$medurl = "medium.html";
$largurl = "large.html";

if ($verse_size == "small" ) {
header( "Location: $smallurl" );
exit;}

elseif ($verse_size == "medium") {
header( "Location: $medurl" );
exit;}

elseif ($verse_size == "large "){
header( "Location: $largeurl ");
exit;}
?>

AND HERE IS THE ERROR THAT COMES UP

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at cardverse2.php on line 19

Line 19 is my opening of php

I have tried <?php

But what I would ideally like to do anyway is dosplay a different Paypal button at the bottom of a second form after the first form shown above.

I have tried
<?
if ($verse_size == "small") {
Echo '<PAYPAL HTML CODE, which is a really long form">
}
?>
ERROR: unexpected } on the line that I ended the if statement

AND
<?
if ($verse_size == "small") {
Print ("<PAypal code>")}

ERROR unexpected < on the line the Paypal code begins.

And
<?
if ($verse_size == "small") {
print (<PAypal code>)
Error Unexpected < on the line the paypal code begins.

Being able to do either of the above would make me over the moon -- someone please help me, trial and error error error error error is driving me mad.

Hi Liam,

Anything using "header" has to be sent before the HTML tag opens.

So your code for cardverse2.php should be along the lines of

<?
$verse_size = $_POST['verse_size'];
$smallurl = "small.html";
$medurl = "medium.html";
$largurl = "large.html";

if ($verse_size == "small" ) {
header( "Location: $smallurl" );
exit;}

elseif ($verse_size == "medium") {
header( "Location: $medurl" );
exit;}

elseif ($verse_size == "large "){
header( "Location: $largeurl ");
exit;}
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Try that and see what happens!

Now it is saying

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at cardverse2.php on line 10

Line 10 is the first header( "Location: $smallurl" ); line

LiamBailey

Now it is saying

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at cardverse2.php on line 3

Line 3 is The line my <? is now on

themistral

Why is line 3 your php tag?

What is on lines 2 and 3?

LiamBailey

Nothing I cut my php and pasted it above the opening html tag, there is nothing above my opening <?

LiamBailey

Themistral I love you, I just put my opening <? on line 1 and it worked --

Are you married?

LiamBailey

I also deleted all the html elements below my php as the sole point of the script was to redirect to the correct url

Glad I could help!
