someone else already raised this issue and it doesn't look like you caught
it: you have two actions in your form (the second should probably read
method="post"), e.g.,
is your form even submitting to season-write.php?
the other potential issue is that you mentioned your redirect function is
within an external include file. since you moved the code from one server to
another, make sure that the include file is in the correct path since the
paths may be different on the new server. you could test by doing some
debugging such as
require("/path/to/include_file") or die("could not find include file");

RE: [PHP] Re: Redirection Question (I spoke to soon)
Are you outputting BLANK LINES???
eg.. if you have blank lines after your last ?> (closing PHP tag) in
ANY one of the require/include/script files, you're outputting something and
this cannot be the case.
eg. if in VI
echo $someecho
function dosomethig()
{
// whatever
}
?>
<- THIS blank line will be regarded as Output. Hence You can't
redirect!

below this.

Have you checked your error logs? You should always, ALWAYS have error
reporting on full, and check for errors. It could be that you're getting
an
"headers already sent sent" error.
Does it work if you have a single line script:
header("Location: whatever_$_SESSION['goto']_is_supposed_to_be");

Yes.
If you use only the $_SESSION array to set/get the values of your session
variables, you do not need (and, in some versions of PHP, MUST NOT use)
session_register() or any of its friends.
The proper coding for what you are doing above is:
session_start();
$_SESSION['username'] = $row['username'];
$_SESSION['user_id'] = $row['user_id'];
$_SESSION['access_level'] = $row['access_level'];
and
if (isset($_SESSION['user_id']) )
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
(or even just
return isset($_SESSION['user_id']);
! ;)

RE: [PHP] Re: Redirection Question (I spoke to soon)
Finally,
Thanks to all that tried to help, but I found part of the problem - sort
of. In the file that I am trying to redirect to I have a form with the
line:
It appears this line was corrupt somehow. After I rewrote the line from
scratch it solved the problem of my paths being screwed up - why - I
have no idea. Maybe it had some weird control characters or something
that was screwing things up.
However, there is still a problem with the header function - it still
will not redirect. I got around this by using a small javascript I found
which seems to do the trick. I'd still be curious as to why the header
will not work, but at this point I'm ecstatic that it works at all.
if(isset($_SESSION['goto'])) {
?>

I'll try to clear this up for you. I'm going to see if I can get the
documentation on the web site fixed also. It is rather confusing.
There appears to be two ways to do sessions:
'---
Style 1 (discuraged use):
'---
session_start(); // start the session
session_register('var'); // register global $var as session var
$var = $row['var']; // assign global $var a value
// now the session will save the value
// that is inside $var as long as its global
// scoped
// check to see if $var is registered with the session handler
if ( session_is_registered('var') ) {
// session is registered but doesn't gaurentee
// that a value is inside of it.
// so check to see if there is a value
if (isset($var)) {
// yes we have a value
} else {
// no value assigned
}
} else {
// session variable $var is not registered so the
// variable $var will not be saved in the session
}
session_unregister('var'); // Now var will not be saved in the
// session
'---
Style 2 (prefered method):
'---
session_start();// start the session
$_SESSION['var'] = $row['var']; // set the session value
// any time you need to access this
// value you need to reference it
// through $_SESSION['var']
// check to see if session 'var' is in the session
if(isset($_SESSION['var']) ) {
// yes, so pull it out and do stuff
$var = $_SESSION['var'];
// do stuff...
} else {
// no, there is no $_SESSION['var']
// and will not be saved in session.
}
unset($SESSION['var']); // Now var will not be saved in the
// session

Curt

Hi Curt,
I'm confused..
With $_SESSION, there is no need to use the session_register(),
session_unregister(), session_is_registered() functions. Session
variables are accessible like any other variables.
I'm using
session_start();
session_register('username');
$_SESSION['username'] = $row['username'];
session_register('user_id');
$_SESSION['user_id'] = $row['user_id'];
session_register('access_level');
$_SESSION['access_level'] = $row['access_level'];
and checking if user is authenticated using
if ( session_is_registered('user_id') )
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
Am I in error? (I'm trying to code using register_globals=off)

You don't need those two lines, they are only needed if ini.register_globals
is on and you want the variables $logged and $user to automatically be
sessioned as:
$_SESSION['logged']
$_SESSION['user']
With $_SESSION, there is no need to use the session_register(),
session_unregister(), session_is_registered() functions. Session
variables are accessible like any other variables.
I think this is were your problem is.
Also what php version?
If you are using $_SESSION and disable register_globals, do not use
session_register(), session_is_registered() and session_unregister(), if
your scripts shall work in PHP 4.2 and earlier. You can use these
functions in 4.3 and later.
Hmm.. After looking at the session_* documentation there are CAUTIONS
all over the place.. The all seem to say dont use sesion_register,
unregister, and is_registered when your using $_SESSION;

RE: [PHP] Re: Redirection Question (I spoke to soon)
Hi,
I found one of my problems and also implemented your suggestions, and
still the same thing. It will not redirect.
The problem I found is that $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] does not include the
port number. On my Win PC I am using port 800. So I changed this line
to:
$_SESSION['goto'] = "http://"; . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] .":800" .
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
If I take the output from that and put it into my browser is works just
fine, but it will not work in the script.
This is the portion of the script in question now after I implemented
your changes.
session_start();
$_SESSION['logged'] = "True";
$_SESSION['user'] = $row['user'];
header("Location: " . $_SESSION['goto']);
If I echo $_SESSION['goto'] right after session_start() it shows exactly
what it should be. So I am at a loss.
Ideas??

Try doing:
session_start();
$_SESSION['logged'] = "True";
$_SESSION['user'] = $row['user'];
// you cant do this here.
// session_unregister('goto');
header( "Location: ".$_SESSION['goto'] );
That should work.

Again, I thought it was working and once I got farther along I see that

Here is what I have :
This is the script that runs to see if the user is logged in.
session_start();
if(!$_SESSION['logged']) {
session_register('goto');
$_SESSION['goto'] = "http://"; . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] .
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$url = "http://www.mysite.org/login/login.php";;
header("Location: $url");
}
The above works and redirects me to the login page and has the right
referring page as shown below.
goto|s:59:"http://www.mysite.org/setup/inputs.php";;
This is in my login.php script. After I verify the user login is
correct, this piece of code is executed.
session_start();
session_register('logged');
session_register('user');
$_SESSION['logged'] = "True";
$_SESSION['user'] = $row['user'];
$target = "Location: " . $_SESSION['goto'];
session_unregister('goto');
header($target);
What I get after this is a blank page. The user has been logged in and
shows in the session file, but it just isn't redirecting.
1. DON'T mix session_register() and $_SESSION.
2. Add an exit(); after you redirect with header().
