Header problem

by **cooldownguy86** » Sun Nov 24, 2002 3:51 pm

Hello, all php pro.
I did this

Code: Select all: <html> <head> <title> </title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <?php $id=$_GET['id']; switch ($id) {case 'home': header("Location: home.php"); break; case 'story': header("Location: story.php"); break;} ?> </body> </html>

and this came out when goto.php?id=story:
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\php\gb\goto.php:9) in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\php\gb\goto.php on line 12

why?

You will need this instead of your code:

=== START OF DOCUMENT ===

<?php

$id = $_GET['id'];

switch ($id)
{
case 'home':
header("Location: home.php");
break;
case 'story':
header("Location: story.php");
break;
}

?>

=== END OF DOCUMENT ===

To make a long story short: Remove all html code before the php code.
Because headers must be sent first in PHP and then in the html code.

you cannot output headers (they are really HEADERS!!!!) after you output ANYTHING in output stream (like echoing, putting html code etc).
