Re: header function

I have session auto start on. Plus, like I said, it works fine if it's at the top of the page, not in the include file. Thanks, Barry At 05:19 PM 3/7/2003, Jim Lucas wrote:

if you put this at the very to of the page, I am guessing then that you haven't ran session_start() ?? if you are trying to access a value stored in a session variable, you need to initialize the session first, then access the variable.

At the VERY TOP of my php page, I have: <?php virtual("/include/logincheck.php") ?> logincheck.php contains exactly: <?php // login check if(!isset($_SESSION["agent_id"])) { header("Location:/"); header("Connection: close"); exit; } ?> However, if this "agent_id" is not set, I just get a blank page with html open and close tags. I'm SURE there are no spaces or blank lines before these lines. It works fine if I put the code in the main page instead of using the virtual include. Output buffering is set to 4096 in php.ini. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Barry -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
