RE: [PHP-DB] New Thread name, was "Newbie Question"

You'll have to use the if statements, and particularly the Header() statement BEFORE sending any HTML So, I would actually use this code somewhere in the page that has the form to enter the username to send to a blank page that then redirects based on the username? I tried to put it in the page that is called by the form action on the form page but I get a warning that: Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\redirect.php:1) in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\redirect.php on line 5 So I assume I need to add it to the signin page to send..correct?

Like this: <?php if ("eddie" == $username) { header("Location: http://www.amazon.com"); } else if ("Jackson" == $username) { header("Location: http://www.php.net"); } ?> Why: Conditions for if statements should be in parentheses Checking equality is == Using one = sets the variable Placing the username before the $username variable in the statement ensures that if you accidently enter = instead of == it will fail instead of setting the variable and passing. The header() function is a great way to send http headers.
