Re: [PHP] Error that I can't find causing header() to fail

Yes. The html is after the call to header(). I am very clear on 
header() now :)

That isn't the problem since the header() should be called way before 
any output... this is something bizarre here... The offending code is a 
block right smack in the middle of a bunch of other html stuff - which 
is totally similar and removing these lines of code fixes it. So 
strange. AND it is not just one of the rows or something - it is that 
block as a unit for some reason.

I advise you read about the header() function in the PHP manual.

Subject: [PHP] Error that I can't find causing header() to fail

Hi all,

This template I have, has been driving me nuts. I am trying to debug
someone else's code and have narrowed the problem down to a few lines,
but I can't see what would be causing the problem.
Here is the scoop. When this template loads it is making:

header("Location: http://www.myurl.com";)

Fail. If I remove the following hunk of code, everything works as it
should on the template (redirecting me to the right place). Removing
any ONE row or combination does not seem to fix it, so there is
something to do with this whole block? I am at a loss here and could
really use another pair of eyes.
