Meta HTTP refresh problem

Recently, during a rewrite of my login page, the Meta Refresh I am using suddenly stopped working. I've tried using it by echoing it with php and by just using it in HTML. I've also tried using a javascript redirect with no luck either. Any thoughts on how to debug and what might be holding me up? Thanks for the help. -John The code for the refresh: echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT=\"0;URL=main_page.php\">"; I know that the refresh is actually being sent to the browser because I can read it in the HTML source of the output page and can see the test echo. I also know that it isn't an issue with my configuration, because I am using a meta http refresh on other pages that are working fine. I am running php 4.3.7 on Apache 2.0.49 Here's the entire code for my login page: <?php /* * login.php - Authenticates user. Usernames and passwords are stored * in a MySQL database called 'compass'. The table that contains this information is * called 'users' * * sessionn_start(); MUST be the very first line of the program * or else an error will be generated. This is a PHP specification. *****/ session_start(); header("Cache-control: private"); //IE 6 Fix $_SESSION['sessionUserId'] = ""; //This function simply prints out the login screen function printLogin() { echo "<center>Compass Project</center>"; echo "<br><br>"; echo "<center>"; echo "<table>"; echo "<form method=\"POST\" action=\"login.php\">"; echo "<tr class=\"login\">"; echo "<td class=\"login\">Username: </td><td><input type=\"text\" name=\"userName\" value=\"\" size=20></td>"; echo "</tr>"; echo "<tr class=\"login\">"; echo "<td class=\"login\">Password: </td><td><input type=\"password\" name=\"password\" value=\"\" size=20

</td>"; echo "</tr>";

echo "<tr class=\"login\"><td></td><td align=\"center\"><input type=\"submit\" name=\"login\" value=\"Login \"></td></tr>"; echo "</form>"; echo "</table>"; echo "</center>"; } //Include template head include_once 'templateHead.php'; //Check to see if the user submitted a login if(isset($_POST["userName"])){ //Get PEAR DB require_once 'dbCompassConnect.php'; //Fetch the user's credintials and check their password $postUserName = $_POST["userName"]; $user = $db->getRow("SELECT user_id, user_name, password, template, first_access FROM users WHERE user_name = '$p ostUserName'"); $myUserId = $user[0]; $myUserName = $user[1]; $myPassword = $user[2]; $myTemplate = $user[3]; //Check to see if password matches if ($_POST["password"] == $myPassword){ //Store myUserId and myTemplate for use in my session $_SESSION['sessionUserId'] = $myUserId; $_SESSION['myTemplate'] = $myTemplate; //Test to see if you actually got to this part echo "You should be going somewhere!"; echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT=\"0;URL=main_page.php\">"; } else { printLogin(); echo "<br><center>Invalid username/password</center>"; } }else{ printLogin(); } //Include the tail template include_once 'templateTail.php'; ?> . . . . . . . . . . My dbCompassConnect.php file: <?php //Get PEAR DB require 'DB.php'; //Make the connection - username and password are fake for security $db = DB::connect('mysql://username:password@localhost/compass'); //Check for database connection errors if (DB::isError($db)) { die("Can't connect: " . $db->getMessage()); } ?>
