Re: How to redirect after a valid login

You can do a redirect at any point in your code as long as you haven't sent anything to the browser yet. You can run 10,000 lines of PHP code and do 1,000 queries and still send a redirect to the browser. In a nut shell, have no echo statement before your redirect.

Is there a way that after a execution of a Login script and validation of login from a MySql database to automatically redirected to run another script ? example someone logs in through the login.php script, in the login script you are validated and then you run another script called mainmenu.php ? I have tried the following: include "mainmenu.php"; // Which gives me an error ! This one just put the link on the page and does not redirect to another script. echo "header(Location: <a href=http://www.example.com/InVocie/MainMenu.php); ' target='_blank'>http://www.example.com/InVoice/MainMenu.php?r=$a);</a>"; /* Redirect browser */ Larry Sandwick Sarreid, Ltd.
