Re: Headers bust ?

Hello, I just got two emails explaining my error. Thanks to all. I wasn't thinking right and sort of had my cart before my horse. The fix is simple, put the header call before anything else. I was thinking I had to get the input first -- wrong. All I needed was to put this line first, at the very top of the script. if ($dog == 'mal') header ('Location: ../aamaillist/ml_menu.php'); thanks for all help malcolm On Sat, 15 Feb 2003 09:01:30 -0500, Malcolm <malcolm@mbrownell.com> wrote:

Hello, I've been fooling with this for a few days now. I'm getting a hearders already sent error. I know it means I've got output before the header but I can't figure how else to do this.
