How do i set a redirect?

I think you should make a string with the information. Not 100% sure, because I have never tried it your way, but something like:

Code:

$location = "Location: http://" . $server . "/" . $domain . "/" . $username . "/" . $username . ".php";
header($location);

And this is being parsed before there has been any user output isn't it? PHP header() function only works if it is before any output. Just checking ;)

What do you mean it only works locally? Is that on a local server or the link is pointing local?

The code you provided should work. Do a var_dump() to see what your variables hold.

That was on a local server.

the server that i'm working on is remote, vm.

Code:

<?php 
ob_start();
$first =$_POST['first']; 
$last = $_POST['last']; 
$username = $_POST['userreg']; 
$pass = $_POST['passreg']; 
$email = $_POST['email']; 
$t1 = "/opt/lampp/htdocs/domain/" ;

//make directory for the user by his username 
mkdir("$t1"$username, 0777); 
echo " Created $username directory";

$conn = mysql_connect("localhost","xxxx","xxxx"); 
mysql_select_db("forum", $conn); 

$sql = "insert into users ( `user_name`, `password`, `firstname`, `lastname`, `email` ) values ('$username','$pass','$first','$last','$email')"; 
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or die (mysql_error()); 
echo "inserted into database users profile info";

touch('$t1$username/$username.php'); 
echo "create users web page";

$fp = fopen('$t1$username/$username.php', 'w'); 
$php = "<html><body> 
welcome:$username <br /> 
what a great photo 
<img src='$file' width=200 height=200 /> 
 your page url is  'http://localhost/domain/$username/$username.php' </html></body>"  ; 
fwrite($fp,$php); 
echo "wrote to users page";

//redirecting him to his new page : 
$url = 'http://localhost/domain/$username/$username.php';
echo"going to new page";
header('Location: '.$url) ;

var_dump();
ob_flush();

?>

when i ran vardump it said their was an error on line 11 which is mkdir command

**wizardry** · Feb 9 '09, 11:46 PM

why is the mkdir not making the dir in the supplied path its making it in the dir where the script is ran from?

**Markus** · Feb 10 '09, 12:18 AM

Because you have a syntax error.

Code:

mkdir("$t1"$username, 0777);

Should be

Code:

mkdir($t1 . $username, 0777);

Also, type [code] not [php] for your code.

will try and post results

**wizardry** · Feb 10 '09, 12:52 AM

**wizardry** · Feb 10 '09, 02:33 AM

ok i've got it to work, thanks for your help

**wizardry** · Feb 10 '09, 02:52 AM

ok another question same topic!

q1. how to have the form on submit wait until this is being built then go to the page that was just made?

thanks for your help in advance

**TheServant** · Feb 10 '09, 03:43 AM

If it is in the same script then it should read from top to bottom and do that anyway? If the form submits to a php file and the file has no output to the browser prior to completion of the page, you can use header(location :new_file.php); Is that what you mean?

**wizardry** · Feb 10 '09, 03:57 AM

i have that issue solved with the file parsing.

I would like to on submit of my php post_form to wait until that form is created and send a message or icon letting the user know its processing. and then once its completed its processing reload the redirect page into the current page. instead of opening a new window or tab.
