Re: Using 'header' as redirect

Philip Thompson wrote:

As you can see, by the time that index.php includes the subpage, it has already outputted HTML. According to using the header() function, you are not allowed to output any HTML *before* using header(). However, I am doing this and it is redirecting fine. I have hypothesized why it is still redirecting appropriately... *subpage.php* has not outputted HTML before it does the check, only index.php, so it does not fail. Is this correct? Any help is appreciated. It appears to work fine, but I don't want to be surprised in the future by my application breaking suddenly!! =D

Check phpinfo and see if you have output buffering on by default. If you do, that's why and you shouldn't rely on it being that way. -Stut
