[RESOLVED] page not redirecting?

[shadiadi]

I have this page it works fine submits the image to the database but just will not redirect to
header("Location:category.php");
exit;
the page it is supposed to it submits the image to the database or produces the correct error if the file is too large or invalid but once it has submitted just does nothing freezes on this page and does not redirect?

<?
ini_set ("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);
session_start();
error_reporting(7);
require("../global/admin_functions.php");
$sid = $_SESSION['LOGINID'];

if ((($FILES["form_data"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($FILES["form_data"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($FILES["form_data"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
&& ($FILES["form_data"]["size"] < 250000))
{

$data = addslashes(fread(fopen($form_data, "r"), filesize($form_data)));
$result=MYSQL_QUERY("INSERT INTO uploads (description, data,filename,filesize,filetype) ". "VALUES

('$form_description','$data','$form_data_name','$form_data_size','$form_data_type')") ;
$id= mysql_insert_id();

header("Location:category.php");

exit;

}

else
{

echo "You can only upload JPEG or GIF images that are 250KB or less.";

}

?>

In future please wrap your code in [php][/php] tags, makes it easier to read.

Minor adjustments id make from a quick observation. use <?php instead of <?

You have 2 error_reporting calls, which one do you want to use ?

You shouldn't be trusting the $_FILES type value, do the check with [man]getimagesize[/man] to make sure they really are image files and image files you support.

Where are these variables coming from ?
$form_data
$form_description
$form_data_name
$form_data_size
$form_data_type

Another question: the page isn't redirecting, but is the database insert happening?

[NogDog]

Could be an issue with HTTP 1.1 specifying that the value for a "Location:" header should be an absolute URI.

[shadiadi]

all the data was coming from a form

don't know why but this works and the other doesn't

header ("location: viewad.php?adid=$adid");

makes no sense to me??
