Hi All, I know this has come up before and I've read some posts so far, but this is still eluding me.
I have come to understand that typically, if you are getting an error message about your headers having already been sent to the browser, you are writing bad code. Now, I want to right good code so I really want to figure this out the right way and stay away from doing stuff like setting Output Buffering to ON in the php.ini file, (which I can do in my case). So, basically, I get the error message: "Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/bmelendy/websites/www.e-learn.net/quizD/header.html:3) in /home/bmelendy/websites/www.e-learn.net/quizD/login.php on line 17" Now, I can see right on line 17 that I'm outputting a header with the following line: header( "Location: index.php?".SID ); This is part of an if/then statement that is supposed to redirect the user to index.php upon login. The conflict occurs because I have an include file with a function checkUser() that also redirects the user to the login.php page if they fail the the check with a line: header( "Location: /main/login.php" ); So, is there no way for me to redirect a user from both a function under certain circumstances and also from withing a page that calls that function? I don't completely understand when exactly the headers are being sent and this does all work properly if I turn the Output Buffering to 'ON' in the php.ini file, but I'd like to try to make this work the 'right' way rather than cut corners and just make the server work for my code, instead of making my code work for the server. ;-) Thanks very much for any input. ...Brad -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
