[RESOLVED] Header() and multipart/form-data

[daveyc]

Hi there,

I'm scripting a small php upload form and i'm having some problems using header(Location).

Basically, I have a page with the upload form on, which then passes the information to a file called "uploader.php", this file contains no HTML, just pure PHP.

I have a series of conditions that must be met in order for the upload to succeed. Should one of the conditions not be met, I use

header("Location: myfile.php?err=1");

"where 1 is the relevant error code", but i'm Just getting a blank page. No errors, nothing.

I removed the "multipart/form-data" from the upload form for debugging, and sure enough it re-directs, but then obviously, the file isn't being uploaded anymore.

Is there a way to use header(); to re-direct a user from a page that handles file uploads? Or a work around at least.

Thanks,

Dave

Got it.

Basically my script was doing this:

// Upload handling is here..


if($error){

      if($errnum = 1){
       header("Location: somefile.php");
       exit
      }
}

?>

Header doesn't like uploaded files by the looks of it... So i updated my code to do this:

// Upload handling is here..


if($error){

unset($_POST);

      if($errnum = 1){
       header("Location: somefile.php");
       exit
      }
}

?>

That did the trick.. I thought i'd just post this here in case anyone else came across this problem.
