Re: header() problem

I use PHP 4.06, Using Apache, and running under windows. This code is tested and works using IE; header ("Location: http://localhost/test/secure_1.php"); exit; Like the other message(s) said, you must NOT output anything before you send a header. If you do however, you will get a runtime error and it will be displayed on the webpage (unless you supressed the errors). But this will redirect you to another webpage. Exit is required, so this script stops execution. Die might work as well, but that quits the script. Exit simply exists the current function, but the rest of the program/script (if inside a function) will contune to run. -- Ray rgaylog@rogers.com "Christoph Grottolo" <christoph.grottolo@gmx.net> wrote in message news:20011229113357.43814.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > Make sure there is no sign before you start the file with '<?php...'. > > Every sign (char, space, newline) outside the php script is interpreted as > part of the page and therefore sent to the browser.
