Re: Re: changing to a different file in browser

I'm sure there is something REALLY simple Im missing here.... below is the copy of the two files in question. the first file (login.php) queries the database (using variables supplied in a form in the preceding page) and authenticates the user. If the user does not exist, it dies, if the user does exist, te page should redirect to 'menu.php' (which resides in the same directory. The file contents follow: login.php: <?PHP session_start(); ?> <?PHP // Connect to the database $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass"); if( !$db ) die ("Couldnt connect to server, try again soon. "); // Select Database mysql_select_db("LoginDB", $db) or die ("Couldn't connect to the database, sorry."); // Query Database table $query = "select * from Admin_Login_TB where teamLogin = '$teamLogin' && teamPass = '$teamPass' " ; $result = mysql_query($query,$db); // LIst the matching row values list ($teamLogin, $teamPass, $teamNo)=mysql_fetch_row($result); // Test to see if a match was found // If not: then die // if match found then continue if (!mysql_numrows($result) ) { die ( "username/password not valid"); } else{ header("Location: menu.php"); exit; } ?> ***************************************** menu.php <?PHP session_start(); ?> <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#blue"> test </body> </html> **************************************** I hope you can see a glareingly obvious problem that i can't Cheers, Brad > From: "..s.c.o.t.t.." <scott@furt.com> > Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2001 23:13:09 -0700 > To: "Php-General" <php-general@lists.php.net> > Subject: RE: [PHP] Re: changing to a different file in browser > > even a blank line at the end of a file that you're > include()ing will break header. > > you could use output buffering, but i dont think > you really want to go to all that trouble for a simple > redirect :) > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Chris Anderson [mailto:chrisderson@ameritech.net] >> Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 19:47 >> To: Brad Wright; PHP General List >> Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: changing to a different file in browser >> >> >> If you use Header after ANY page output, even a space, it will not work >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Brad Wright" <bradwright@optushome.com.au> >> To: "PHP General List" <php-general@lists.php.net> >> Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 10:25 PM >> Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: changing to a different file in browser >> >> >> tried it, but it didn't work... still getting the same message in IE.
