Page Redirection

[assgar]

Hello

I am working on a search page. When you type the person's
name insted of displaying a listing I want to be redirectd to
the user information.

I am getting a warninig:
Warning: cannot modify header information - headers already
sent( at start of D:\search.php: 108) in d:\search_play. php on line 242

How can suggest a way I redirect or be automatically sent to a nother
page without using header()?


[Html]

//search.php is the html form
<form action="<php echo $SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method = "post"> <!--line 108-->

[/html]


[php]
<?
//search_play.php process and display results
header("Locatio n:../user_info.php") ; //line 242

?>
[/php]

you can use ob_start(); at the beginning of the code

theres probably a cleaner way to do this thojugh

Its seems that you have a form the proceeds to another page with the information. From that you then trying to reroute to the correct page. If that is correct then no text/html should be displayed on the intermediate page. If there is any before the header(location ) then it will error. Check on that. That would be the correct way to do so.

If you need a quick fix for the time being, just insert a javascript code.
[php]
echo "<script>docume nt.location='" . $location . "';</script>";
[/PHP]

To be very clear: you cannot output anything (HTML,CSS,JavaS cript) before redirection.

Therefore, move any processing of the page (error_checking , database transactions) above/before ANY output.

Use some variables and leave the output for later.

Hope that makes it clearer.
