No redirection? Please help.

Hi,

The following script outputs 12345. It should go to intro_page.php after the
4 session variables have been populated. Can you see what I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks,

Raj (newbie)


start.php

<?php
session_start() ;
session_destroy ();
include("./general_scripts _etc/header1.php");
$s=$_GET['s'];
$query="SELECT * FROM site_data WHERE site_name='$s'" ;
$result=@mysql_ query($query);
print("1");
$num=mysql_num_ rows($result);
print("2");
if ($num==0)
{
print("3");
$query="SELECT * FROM site_data WHERE site_number='1' ";
print("4");
$result=@mysql_ query($query);
print("5");
while ($Row=mysql_fet ch_array($resul t))
{
print("6");
$_SESSION['site_name']=$Row[site_name];
$_SESSION['site_logo_loca tion']=$Row[site_logo_locat ion];
$_SESSION['site_admin_ema il']=$Row[site_admin_emai l];
$_SESSION['site_number']=$Row[site_number];
ob_end_clean();

Unless you buffer your output, header()'s have to be written before any
output to your client screen.

Check this out:

Yes, but the script isn't getting that far. There are no lines in the
returned dataset, so either there is something wrong with the sql, or
there is no site_number 1.

Once you do any output, you cannot use the header() function and get it
to do what you expect. Calling header *must* be done *before* any other
output.

Try changing the print() to some form of debug logging instead if you
want to trace your code this way.
