    3. Question URL redirection in PHP

    Is there any other function in PHP that can be used for redirecting a page

    I use the following

    Code:
    header ("location: index.php");

    But it generates the following error:

    Code:
    Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\admin-right-nav.php:5) in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\admin-right-nav.php on line 6

    Is there any alternative in php?

    You need to send any headers before any other text is sent to the browser. Someone else can proably explain this better to you. In a nutshell, any
    Code:
    header()
    functions need to be used before any
    Code:
    echo()
    or similar functions.

    Or could use Output buffering so you can keep your code as it is (its better coding practice in my opinion to "fix" the script though, just showing how you could get around it).

    To use output buffering (the whole script is processed then output sent to the browser so you can use header() and echo() etc anywhere in the script) add the following to the top of the script (just below the <?php)

    PHP Code:
    ob_start(); 
    then at the end of the script (just before the ?>) you should add:

    PHP Code:
    ob_end_flush(); 
    But generally its better to fix the script instead of using output buffering in my opinion. Im sure if you post the code i or others could easily help you to fix it.

    Actually on the other hand if you want to use a different redirect method try googling for Meta Redirect. Which you can use with a simple echo() or print().

    that wont be easy coz if u already had echo()ed the <body> section then u cant echo something back in the <head> section. ob_start(); ob_end_flush(); is better. u can use output buffering for cookies also.

    11. Re: URL redirection in PHP

    Its not ideal to put a meta redirect in the <body> section because its not really good (x)html but it does work as far as i know. In firefox it works because i used it a few mins ago in a quick alteration i did for a friend (a little temporary raffle script, seemed pretty pointless writing a perfect redirection system for it)

    but then output buffering doesnt have any disadvantage does it?
    or you could do it manualy. but this will not take into acount error. you can set all the output data in variables and the echo() them at the end of a page. in case of an error it wil not be possible to legally(as in XHTML standards) redirect. so output buffering is the best and if u dont want to do that store everything in variables and echo the head then body sections in order at the end of the php page. i hope i'm clear
    for eg
    PHP Code:
    if(something=="correct"){
    $head=."something";
    }
    else{
    $body.="something";
    }

    You need to send headers before any output.

    You can get around this with output buffering but I don't suggest it as I think it's stupid the end user has to wait because you like to send headers where ever in the script.

    Post your script so we can help you.

    Haha, if you do that then the session_start() and the 'echo "Logg..."' is pointless.

    I recommend just using javascript for a redirect, if you want some echoed to the page first.
