reportingsjr Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 You cant have any html output, or text onto the screen. Its the same as starting sessions and setting cookies, those are both also headers .I do beleive you can do like ob_start() and ob_end() to get around this, just search for ob on php.net lol.

justsomeguy Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 That worked, you see what's confusion me. I had it send an email first, then sent the redirect, there has to be a way to make this work, if not how am I suppose to send them back to the index page after they log in???The problem is that you send HTML output before you try to send the redirect header. When you send any output, all headers are sent before it. So, obviously you can't send a header after you have already started output. When you send the doctype tag, all headers get sent at that time.Move all of your PHP up to the top of the page, and do all of the processing that needs to be done on the top, before you send any HTML. If the code reaches the end, and they are remaining on that page then send the HTML to display that page. But don't start sending the output, and then do some processing later on, do all the processing first, and then show the appropriate output.

businessman332211@hotmail.com Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 The reason I didn't do that, is because I need to be able to put the stuff within the layout. For instance if there are errors and I did that, they would display at the top, right now they display within the content area of the layout. Which looks a lot more professional. if ($errorhandler != "") {echo "<span class=\"spanred\">";echo $errorhandler;echo "</span>";} This is where I am showing errors, it appears within the content, but if there are no errors, I wanted it to go ahead and proceed with login. So I ended up having to use a link, to finish login. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
