header("Location: ..."); NOT WORKING!?

[Duderino82]

I'm working on a very simple peace of php where basically there is a
form and 3 buttoms. One refreshed the page, one posts the form, and
another one (since this form contains values of a record) deletes the
record. The sintax is this one:

if ($delete)
{ header ("Location: $redirect?del=$ code&table=$tab ");
exit;
}

where $delete is the buttom, $redirect is the string containing the url
("http://www...."). $code and $tab are values verified and correct.

Well the funny thing is that this line worked well since I add the
third buttom (the delete) after I added it even the post buttom doesn't
work anymore. Exactly the page refreshes itself wihout changing
parameters ($redirect contains in fact the same page but with different
parameters) and stops loading the page after this line (probabily the
exit() kicking in). Is there another way to redirect a page other then
header()??? It's driving me crazy...help me!

How are you setting the value of $delete?
Something like $delete = isset($_GET['del']);

I always have the following in my coding section:

if (isset($_POST['delete'])) {
stuff....
}

I do this for all buttons that require processing.

The other thing you can do if a redirect is all you want is to use
straight html where you enclose the specified fields (if possible on
your page) within a separate named form whose action is your redirect
and whose fields are named "del" and "table".

The code is like this.
if($_GET['modifica'] && $_GET['table']){
// do stuff
if(mysql_select _db($db_name, $db))
{ // do a query
switch($table){
case 'processori': table_processor i($row,1);
// displays the table at the end of which are the buttoms $delete
and $submit
// create $str with the query
break;
case 'schedemadri': .......break;
default:break;
}
if (isset($_POST['delete']))
{ header ("Location: $redirect");
exit;
}
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{ if(mysql_select _db($db_name, $db))
mysql_query($st r, $db) or die("Query non valida: " .
mysql_error());
header ("Location: $redirect");
}
}
mysql_close($db );

}

Add the line below to the top of your script file, it may shed some light by
displaying a warning or notice which would not otherwise be displayed. Also,
after adding it, try commenting out the header() and exit() functions, and
just echo $redirect."?del =".$code."&tabl e=".$tab to verify that they are
correct and your script is entering the delete condition.

error_reporting (E_ALL);

Problem solve....the funny thing is I don't know how! I just moved a
function (not used in that part of the code) in the <head>...did a few
errors deleting some <div>...then it when all back to normal...mister y
remains!
