Header() Not Working

[chop]

I've used header() a hundred times. For some reason this just gives me a blank screen. The url exists and the script gets into the conditional and exits.

 

This is a modification of Larry's script in chapter 16 that I get get to work because of this.

 

thanks very much

    if (!isset($_SESSION['first_name']) || $_SESSION['user_level'] == 0 ) {
        echo "Hello, I should be redirecting now...";
        header('Location: https://tenthousandeyes.org/.php');
        exit(); // Quit the script.

    }

Your location is wrong. Also, you should not be printing something and then redirecting. 

 

(Edit: Sorry! Forgot the "not"!)

Sorry, I copied it incorrectly. The code is as follows.

Also, I don't know what you mean when you say "print". Do you mean a php print statemet? What is the purpose of that?

	$url = 'index.php'; // Define the URL.
	echo "Hello, I should be redirecting now...";
	header('Location: https://tenthousandeyes.org');
	exit(); // Quit the script.

I should mention that there is an index.html it should go to. Also, I have tried it with a specific page.php as part of the location.

Okay, I found it.. a <?php ?> in the line above. I think you probably meant I "could" be printing something instead of "should".

 

thanks

Sorry! Sorry! I meant "should not be printing"! But glad you figured it out.
