Re: Premature end of script headers: c:/php/php.exe

1. Is there any whitespace before the first <? tag? 2. Where is the authenticate function defined -- what does it do, what's its code, etc? Could it be returning HTML prematurely? Otherwise everything looks ok. -Mike At 11:03 AM 5/1/2002 -0400, Dean Sadler wrote:

I am having troubles with the following script. When executed I get the 500 internal server error page and an error: Premature end of script headers: c:/php/php.exe in the log files. If I comment out the header() line it works fine. I would like to redirect to the proper page based on login pass/fail. Can any one see what I am doing wrong? <? // Login script //authenticate using form variables $status = authenticate($f_user, $f_pass); // if user/pass is correct if ($status == 1) {

        //initiate a session
        session_start();

        //register some session variables
        session_register("SESSION");

        //including the username
        session_register("SESSION_UNAME");
        $SESSION_UNAME = $f_user;

        //redirect to page
        header("Location: /worked.php"); //<-- problem area.
        exit();

} else // user/pass failed {

        //redirect to error page
        header("Location: /failed.php");
        exit();
