RE: [PHP-DB] How to write errorhandling??

First, that "Failed to Connect" message looks like a database failure to connect message; nothing to do with mail() Second, are you REALLY trying to send header info at line 256? That's pretty far down in a program. Usually, those decsions are made within the first 10 to 20 lines. So, is line 256 the mail() line? I suspect that you previously output some text which would account for the "Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by..." message Geben Sie uns mehr Information, bitte. -----Original Message----- From: Luditus [mailto:news.letters@gmx.de] Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2001 5:45 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] How to write errorhandling?? Hi Folks, I would like to send an mail via the mail function. If the mail fails I would like to redirect to an errorpage. Currently my code looks like this: if ( mail($email,$subject_confirm_account, $message_confirm_account, $from_confirm_account) ){ HEADER("Location:index.php?fuseaction=txt&msg=registered"); //success } else{ HEADER("Location:index.php?fuseaction=txt&msg=mailproblem"); // mail could not been sent }; Unfortunatelly I get an erromessage like that: Warning: Failed to Connect in e:\projects\globosapiens\07_production\actual\account\include\user.php on line 256 Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at e:\projects\globosapiens\07_production\actual\account\include\user.php:256) in e:\projects\globosapiens\07_production\actual\account\include\user.php on line 260 Where is the problem??? I can't see it. Maybe one of you guys could help me out.
