problem with header()

[Leszek]

Hi.
I wrote form in html and script php for it (all in one file - index.php)

//index.php

//some if statements to set $dobry to true or false
....
//here is the if statement that isn't working properly
if($dobry==TRUE ){
session_start() ;
$_SESSION['strona1']=base64_encode( serialize($_POS T));
header("Locatio n:
http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERV ER['PHP_SELF'])."/wyszukiwanie.ph p");
exit();
}
else{
header("Locatio n:
http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERV ER['PHP_SELF'])."/bladdanych.php" );
exit();
}
//and after is form in html

The problem is that $dobry is true and i'm not going to wyszukiwanie.ph p.
I'm getting blank page index.php
Could you tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for help.

Hi,

dobry means 'allright' in Polish, right?
It is one of the very few words I know in Polish. :-)

Anyway, if $dobry is the result of a boolean expression, you do not need to
compare it to TRUE.
Just use if in a conditional statement.

eg:
$dobry = (1 == 2);
// $dobry is false now

$dobry = (1 == 1);
// $dobry is true now

If you want to use $dobry, do it as follows:
if ($dobry){
// $dobry was true

} else {
// $dobry was false
}
