URL redirect?

Anon

I have a form people can fill out on my website but as soon as they go to the input.php3 file, I want to send them right back to the index.php3.

How can I do this?

Anon

Use the header() function.

But I want to do some database queries and inserts before I redirect them back to the main page.

Right now it looks like this
<?PHP
header ("Location: http://www.slangdesign.com/advice/index.php3");
echo " Redirecting.."
PHP code here.
echo "";
?>

It doesn't execute any code.

What can i do?

You can't echo or print anything to the browser before the header() is sent.

Do your PHP code, then issue the header() command.

If you want show something, like "redirecting to index.html", then you'll have to use a META-REFRESH tag or Javascript...

I still get this error with the following code.

Warning: Cannot add more header information - the header was already sent (header information may be added only before any output is generated from the script - check for text or whitespace outside PHP tags, or calls to functions that output text) in /home/slangdes/slangdesign-www/advice/input.php3 on line 14

CODE:

<?

$link=mysql_connect("localhost", "yyy", "yyy")
or die("Bad connection!");
mysql_select_db("yyy");
$ip=$REMOTE_ADDR;
$answered="n";
$id="NULL";
$message=addslashes($message);
$sql=mysql_query ("INSERT INTO question (name, message, email, ip, id, answered) VALUES ('$name', '$message', '$email', '$ip', '$id', '$answered')")
or die ("Did not work.");
mysql_close($link);
header ("Location: http://www.site.com/directory/index.php3");
?>

What is before and after this code? What is on line 14 of input.php3? Read the error message and make sure you're not doing any of the things it says not to do...

I just have this before it

<?...

line 14 is mysql_close($link);

and as far as I can tell I'm doing everything right.

Can you give me an example of a correct use of the header function that still lets me execute code before it redirects?

sepodati

Make sure there isn't a space or line before you start your PHP code. <? should be the very first thing in your file...

Anon

Yes, it works with header()
you must not use echo nor print in your code.
header() must be the only thing you return.

Anon

It works now!

Thanks!

Harley - Davidson give me lots of problems. As they
said, I am using their name as a domain. Ok Ok.

I registered a new site, www.steelwings.co.za

I want to direct www.harleydavidson.co.za to www.steelwings.co.za.

If someone type www.harleydavidson.co.za, or click in a search engine on
www.harleydavidson.co.za, he/she must be direct automatically
to www.steelwings.co.za.

Is the above possible and how?

Thank you

Francois

You can put this line of code inbetween the <Head></Head> Tags of an html document. The content value can be changed to set a delay on the re-direct. Unless I completely missed your question, you can easily do this without PHP. Good luck.
