PHP :: How Do I Delay A Header("Location: URL") Redirect?

@header("Location: $HTTP_REFERER"); Not Working In Bedford
I have a weird problem. I have an add to cart link on a page which calls a page called AddCart.php with item ID as parameter. This page adds things to the database and then calls @header("Location: $HTTP_REFERER");

It works fine everywhere as far as I know, yet 2 people from Bedford, UK, have told me within 3 days that when they click on add to cart they get the IE standard 'Page unavailable' page. I have been over their IE configuration with one of them and it is configured exactly the same as me, where it works fine. Has anybody got an idea please?

Looking For POST Equiv In Header("Location: Xxx")
I'm trying not to display the parameters being passed by:

print Header("Location: http://www.bytedesigns.com?License=$license&expdate=$expdate");

If I use a form with method=post, no values are shown. The header() in my example behaves like an html method=get, i.e. values displayed on the URL.

Any hints, suggestions and/or pointers to websites that might be able to help me to not display the parameters added will be greatly appreciated.

Header("Location: Url"); In Mailer
I've tried putting Header("Location: http://myhost.com/me/page.html"); in my mailer's top, middle, even bottom...and it's never worked. All I'm able to do is call on a file...not a page. I really need a html page that has my thank you and tell-a-friend on it.

Header("Location: ..."); Problem
I get the following message when trying to run my script:

"Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output
started at /var/www/html/newcustomer.php:23) in
/var/www/html/newcustomer.php on line 332"

....newcustomer.php:23 is where my script begins, at line 23.

before that line, only comments.

The script recives data from a form, checks if the customer exists, if so,
it updates the data otherwise inserts a new customer into the db. Also some
validation is done before writing to the db.

FM>

And here's the flow of my script:

<?php
include 'db.inc'
include 'error.inc.

//init error string
$errorString = "";

//clean & trim POSTed values

... ... ...

//validate data
if (empty($formvars["source"]))
$errorString .=
"
 You must suply the name of the source.";

//validate other data

... ... ...

//end of validation

//check if errors exist
if (!empty($errorString))
{
//errors do exist, show them & exit
?>
<html>
<body>
 Errors were found.
 
<?=$errorString?>
</body>
</html>

<?php
exit;
}

//if all data valid, open connection and load into the db
if (!(connection = @ .....))
die( ... );
if (!mysql_select_db( ... , ... ))
showerror();

//Are the data being updated? Then update the database
if (!empty($cust_id))
{
$query = "UPDATE customer SET " .
"source = "" . $formvars["source"] . "", " .
... ... ...
... ... ...
WHERE cust_id =$cust_id";
}
else
//Create query to insert the data

$query = INSERT INTO customer
... ... ...";

//Run the query on the customer table

... ... ...

//Is this an insert?
if (empty($cust_id))
//find the cust_id of the new customer
$cust_id = mysql_insert_id();

//Now redirect the customer to the receipt page
header ("Location: cust_receipt.php?cust_id=$cust_id");
?>

Header("Location:") Substitute ?
Is there something else than "header(Location:)" one could use to redirect users to another page? I get the "Cannot add header information - headers already sent...." message when I try that. I'm using a main page that includes "subpages" in it. And I want to redirect users from one of the "subpages". In ASP you could use "server.transfer" and "response.redirect" where ever you wanted! But I don't like ASP anymore so.... ?

Header("Location: ..."); NOT WORKING!?
I'm working on a very simple peace of php where basically there is a
form and 3 buttoms. One refreshed the page, one posts the form, and
another one (since this form contains values of a record) deletes the
record. The sintax is this one:

if ($delete)
{header ("Location: $redirect?del=$code&table=$tab");
exit;
}

where $delete is the buttom, $redirect is the string containing the url
("http://www...."). $code and $tab are values verified and correct.

Well the funny thing is that this line worked well since I add the
third buttom (the delete) after I added it even the post buttom doesn't
work anymore. Exactly the page refreshes itself wihout changing
parameters ($redirect contains in fact the same page but with different
parameters) and stops loading the page after this line (probabily the
exit() kicking in). Is there another way to redirect a page other then
header()??? It's driving me crazy...

$PHP_SELF + Header("Location:");
Is it possible to user $PHP_SELF and then in if($_POST) can i use header("Location:"blah.php); as i really cant get it to work Code:

"header(Location:" Not Working
The below code does not redirect: does anyone know why?

if ($_SESSION['prevpage']) {
#echo "session";
header("Location: http://localhost/index.php");
exit;
}

How To Do A Redirect To A "_new" Window With Header()?
I have an app that generates PDF reports using the FPDF class from www.fpdf.org. I use a PHP header() redirect to pass all the form variables (after error checking and processing them) to my report generator program.

This works great as long as Adobe Acrobat does not load itself as a plug-in into the browser window forcing you to click the back-arrow to get back to the Web app (forcing a second post).

Two options: (1) Find a way to force a download of the PDF so it is processed by Acrobat seperate from the browser (ideal), or (2) Generate another page (like target="_new") to house the PDF.

I could not determine for sure if a newpage could be generated in a header() statement by the PHP docs. Is this possible? If not, how would I accomplish this? (inline Javascript maybe?).

Header("Location:")
i am an amateur at PHP and I am building a website for a client, however i seem to have a problem with the header part of the script.

I have a simple form-mail script, and when the mail is sent the form relocates back to the home page, this is all fine and dandy, however the URL to the script processing page, still appears in the address bar; is this an IE7 fault? or is it actually PHP? is there a way around this?

Problem With Header("Location:.. Function
I am trying to use the following function:

header("Location: http://www.mysite.co.uk/home/update/index.php");

....but getting the following error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
(output started at
/data/httpd/VirtualHosts/www/htdocs/home/update/index.php:12) in
/data/httpd/VirtualHosts/www/htdocs/home/update/index.php on line 124

Is there any reason why I am getting this error? One concern of mine
was that the header function was not at the top of the page (line 1),
does this matter? I need this command to run a series of statements and
depending on specific conditions, redirect the user to another page.

Header("location: $url) Problem With Internal Links
I asked about this problem like 6 months ago but didnt reach a solution and i ignored it, but now while writing some script i needed to use it again!

So the problem is that this line down works fine with firefox but in IE6 & 7 it just goes to the url ignoring anything from # till end so it just goes to the url without jumping to the internal link but if i manually added the internal link in the url.. it will normally go to it! but the strange thing is that same line worked in other php files on same server!

PHP version 5.1.2

header("Location: h**p://www.mysite.se/somefile#a");

also doesnt work in any of the following cases!

-----------------------------------------------
header("Location: h**p://www.mysite.se/somefile.htm#a");
-----------------------------------------------

$h = '#a'
$url = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'].$h;
session_write_close();
header("Location: ".$url);
exit;
---------------------------------------------
But all works in firefox!

Failed To Connect To Mailserver At "localhost" Port 25, Verify Your "SMTP" And "smtp_port" Setting In Php.ini
Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25,
verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini

in php.ini I have:

SMTP = localhost
SMTP_PORT = 25
SENDMAIL_FROM = NULL
SENDMAIL_PATH = "H:WINNTsystem32" (this is where sendmail.dll is
sitting. H is the drive with w2k)

Other PHP code on that page is working.

What else should I check?

'echo "": No Such File Or Directory" Error Using "exec" To Pipe In PHP Script
[TCL]
set php {<? print_r("Hello World"); ?>}
puts $php; # PRINTS OUT <? print_r("Hello World"); ?>
puts [exec "echo '$php' | php -q"]
[/TCL]

When I try this within TCL I get the following error:

How Do I Do Something Like $color = ("red", "yellow", "blue")[$colornum]?
How do I take an index of a literal array, instead of a variable?

That is, say I want to get the short name of a month. Can I do
something like:

$monthname = ("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug",
"Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec")[$month];

or do I always have to do:

$blah = array("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug",
"Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec");
$monthname = $blah[$month];

It seems a shame to have to create a variable specifically for this
one-shot purpose.

Error Using Header("", FALSE) To Show Multiple Images From MySQL Db
Many people seems to have problems when displaying multiple images from their database (mySQL db). Often you can read error statements like "Header already sent out ...". To solve this, people often propose to use include files.

To keep the scipt it would be nice not having this problem, being able to sent out multiple headers to a browser without getting these error messages. In the PHP4 manual, we can read an option that can be added to the header statement, Header("xxx",FALSE). It would enable multiple headers to be sent out.

For instance the following statement:

while ($product = db_fetch_object($result)) {
header("Content-type: pv($product->filetype)",false);
echo pv($product->image)"
}

However, it doesn't work. Anybody has any idea why? Does anybody use this option FALSE with success?

"Cannot Modify Header Information" With Large HTML FORM Options
I'm having some really odd behavior with a PHP script. I have it
populating an HTML select form with a for loop. When I try the years
2006 to 1900. I get the following error:

PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent
by (output started at
/Users/chrobb/Sites/city-directory/controlBar.php:54) in
/Users/chrobb/Sites/city-directory/controlBar.php on line 88

I've done a fair amount of searching and it looks like this usually
shows up when people have some extra whitespace after their closing PHP
tags. Doesn't apply seem to apply here. When I crank the number down on
the for loop to 94 iterations, the error goes away. Once I crank it up
to 95, the error comes into play. So, it's tied to the output somehow.
Looking at the raw HTML, there doesn't appear to be any significant
difference between the version with 94 iterations versus the one with
95 iterations, except for the error and the failure of my script.

How To Redirect Based On $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]?
I have a page that I don't want anyone to be able to link directly to. The
page should only be accessed from gatepage.php. I tried this code, but keep
getting errors - "header info already sent", or something like that... Am I
missing something, or is there a better way to do this?

<?php
$ref = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
//echo $ref;
if ( $ref == 'http://www.mydomain.com/gatepage.php' )
{
//record visit
}
else
{
//send to gatepage.php
header("Location:http://www.somegatepage.com");
exit;
}
?>

"header" Call Doesn't Work Before Lenghty Operation
My config: Win XP (or 2003), Apache 2.0.54, PHP 5.1.2.

I have been trying to handle the case of a lenghty opearation on the server
while providing the user with feedback and ability to cancel, and nothing
seems to work so far.

The following code is one attempt to address this, and it is called as
result of a POST:

//*************start code***************
session_start;

// prepare exec

// flush session data
session_write_close;

// trying to display a "Please wait..." message:
header( "Location: please_wait.php" );

// long exec
exec( ... );

// finally show the result of the exec
header( "Location: exec_result.php" );
//************end code*******************

Header("Cache-Control: Public") Not Working
I have read somewhere else in this newsgroup that the way to avoid the
message (Warning: Page has Expired blah, blah blah ... ) when one
presses the back button is to place the statement
header("Cache-Control: public");
at the top of the script.
I have done this but I still get the annoying message.
The session.cache_expire in php.ini is set to 180. I am using shared
SSL.

Sending "header" Info After HTML?
I am looking to use "header("Location:index.php");" in my code. Basically this will be called when the user logs in to redirect them to the home page but as you expect I get the usual "headers already sent message"

Just wondering how to get around this? Do I use the ob_start() method or something?

Header Location And Redirect
From my record insertion page I do, in some cases, this:

header("Location: http://$SERVER_NAME/mainpage.php?SID");

problem is that the mainpage.php doesn't takes new datas. I've to refresh
the page to see the new inserted record.

doing this:
header("Refresh: 0; URL=http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/mainpage.php?SID);

isn't considered a good alternative.
I want to redirect to the mainpage.php with refreshed datas.

How to do so ? may I keep Refresh header command or it will not work on some
browser ?

Redirect- Header.Location

Is this right code?

Preventing Visitors Ability To "re-visit" A Page Via The "back Button"..
I have a rather complex registration/member sign up form.. which gets a little confused, when a visitor "backs" completely out of the form, then for whatever reason returns to the form. The form contains 'cancel' buttons, which naturally cancel the reg process and redirects them to the document just before they started.

JS provides us with the "location.replace()" method, but I can't seem to find a way to coordinate the use of location.replace() with the posting of the form values. In short, I want to "replace" the first step of the form with the "second step".

I think what's making this tricky, is that each step of the form are located within the "same" page (register.php). The document works like so: The first step is the "Member Agreement" when they click "agree" (submit) the system creates a new row in the temporary register table of the db.

It then issues a registration cookie, which carries the row id, and session value. in addition (for those cookie impared users) we carry the row id and session value in hidden elements. So far, as long as the user continues through the process all is fine, but if they (for whatever reason) back all the way out, and click 'agree' again, the process fails.

I guess I have to find a way to force a reload of the 1st step "if they've gone back" OR "replace()" the first step with the second, so as to prevent the user from going "back" to the 1st step of the register page.

What Do Spiders See On Header( Location ) Redirect
If I use:

<?
Header( "Location: http://www.example.com/1.php?id=12345" );
?>

as a way to redirect from
http://www.example.com/spider-friendly-address

What will the Spider see?
Will this approach help in SEO?

Header ("Connection: Close")
Relating to a post in this thread, does anyone know if there is there any practical different between:

<?PHP
Header("Location: http://www.example.com/widget.html");
Header("Connection: close");
?>

and:

<?PHP
Header("Location: http://www.example.com/widget.html");
exit;
?>

From a (very) quick browse it seems that the exit command will generate a "Connection: close" header by default. Does "Connection: close" have the same effect as exit in that no further PHP code on the page will be parsed?

[PHP 5 XP IE6]header("test"); Does Not Display
I'm trying a simple form.html that call a .html script that begins
with:

<?php
header("This is a test");
?>

When I click on the link, I get blank page.

I tried every combination of .html and .php as extensions, none works.

I checked the >Tools>Config>advanced menus in IE6, I can't find where
could be some filter to prevent the headers from displaying.

Mail() Not Seeing Custom "From:" Header
I have been having a problem trying to get mail() to work. Using this php: PHP Code:

Mail(); "filename" Header?
What header is used the set the filename? Right now, when sending an html email, the attached file is named "unnamed". Here are the headers I am currently using:

//Headers
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "
";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "
";
$headers .= 'From: ' . $email;

I did a brief google search which did return results, but piecing it together didn't work out so well.

Pagnation - Limit Number Of Pages Between "Previous" & "Next" Hyperlinks
Was hoping for some advice with a part of page navigation....

It works at the moment so there is a "Previous" & "Next" Hyperlink underneath the records. In between the Previous & Next links are the number of pages that there is of these records. e.g:

Previous 1234 Next

This is fine if there are only a few pages of records, but when there are hundreds of pages the numbers are listed and they take up half the web page with them.

How can i make it so only limited 10 numbers of pages say appear between the "Previous" & "Next" Hyperlink and as you progress through the pages they are as do the next 10 numbers of pages? Code:

[regex] Stripping Out "name" And "value" Values Out Of Tags, Aaargh
Searched through the site, but couldn't find the right regex syntax I was looking for.

the thing i want is, to extract with preg_match_all the given values in a tag...

ex.

$str = '<input type="text" name="name" value="value">'
$pattern = some magic stuff I need to know
preg_match_all($pattern, $str, $result);

And in result I want to have the values text, name and value AND it's important that the order doesn't matter
so structure of tags can be <input type =name= value=> or <input name= class= value= type=> etc, etc...

Group Mailing, Want To Suppress All The "to" Addresses In The "to:" Field
I want to do a mass emailing for a club.
I don't want all the clubs members to see all the addresses of the

email addresses, just to display something like, "U7 Soccer Club
Team"?

'Parse Error' Problem In "isset" And "empty"
I've been having some problems with a parse error that I can't figure
out (PHP 4.3.11 on Solaris9). Sample code:

<?php
// getting strange parse errors on this
class A {
var $value;
function A() {
$this->value = 1;
}

function getValue() {
return $this->value;
}
}

$a = new A();
if (!empty($a->getValue())) {
echo "success";
}
else {
echo "failure";
}
?>

The result of this is:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '(', expecting ')' in
/foo/public_html/parse_errors.php on line 15

I also get the same effect with "isset", however, testing with "is_null"
or "is_int" produces the correct ("success"/"failure") result. Any ideas?

Imagejpeg Generating String Not Image Even With Header("Content-type:image/jpeg")
does anyone know why i can't generate images with:
header("Content-type:image/jpeg");
imagejpeg($img_number);

i've tried different examples but i always get a text output as if the
header doesn't make a difference at all.

<?php

$img_number = imagecreate(100,50);
$white = imagecolorallocate($img_number,255,255,255);

Please Help: "header Already Sent" Error
How can I produce an output to the browser and let the script continue
to work in the background, producing a later screen output?

Example:
Trigger a database search so that the user immediately sees a
"...searching..." screen while the script actually searches and later
on outputs the result.

I always get a "header already sent" error.

Echo "";
I have a search script which returns a page of results, however I'd like the returned page to be in the same format as the rest of my site.
To do this I've tried adding the HTML for my site to my PHP page with echo" " commands. This works for the plain HTML, but my regular pages also use SSI to do other stuff (some of them even execute other PHP scripts to generate tables of data etc). I've tried

echo "";
but it doesn't work as I get a parse error. My question is, how do I go about doing this properly? Is this possible at all? And if not have you guys got any suggestions to get around this?

Any File Size Limit In <PARAM Name="***" Value="***"> ?
I embed an applet in my php script which has a parameter providing an
input file for the jar. Does this file has size limit?

The code is as follows:
<APPLET ARCHIVE="myapplet.jar" WIDTH=372 HEIGHT=360 VSPACE=0 HSPACE=0
ALIGN=middle>

<?php echo "<PARAM NAME="data" VALUE="myfile.">";?>

when "myfile" is beyond 15M, my applet cannot load sucessfully, but
while this file is limited like 5M or 7M, it works well.

Does anybody know is the reason caused by php script limit, applet
mechanism, or by different browser?

How To Do PHP "require()" Or TCL "source" In Bash Script
I can't figure out how to explain this any better than
this.

In PHP we have a command "require()" that obtains a file and logically
places it into another file.

I cannot figure out how to do this in bash script as the requirement
is necessary for a migration script to obtain the code from a .cfg
file and then be able for the "parent" script to run the code it
"imported" from the .cfg file, much like PHP's require() or TCL's
"source".

This is what I have so far and it fails:

if [ -f ivc.cfg ]; then
cat ivc.cfg
fi

Anyone really know bash script well please help, it's a barrier for me
not to be able to get just this one piece working.

Error In Page When Checking Http_get_vars("myvar") And "myvar" Was Not Passed In URL String
PHP, coming from ASP coding

if (HTTP_GET_VARS['b']==1){
print "Yes";
}else{
print "No";
}

when "b" is not passed via
(http://www.mydomain.com?b=1

an error occurs and the "NO" is printed but an error is printed too.

How can I check for the value of "b" so that no error occurs if b is
not passed??

example

http=www.mydomain.com

$myvar=HTTP_GET_VARS['b']

causes an error because
"b" does not exist (ie. its not passed in the URL string.

$myvar maybe evaluated as NULL or Empty but the error is printed in
the page, anyway.

Coding "NEXT" And "PREVOIUS" Buttons
Hi

I am stuck here. I am doing a form which dispalys details of client companies. My query includes this statement:

.... WHERE CompanyName LIKE %$name% ....

What I need is following: if a query returns more then one result I what to "flip" through result with NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons.

Mysql/php - "LIMIT" And "ORDER"
In the following fragment of code, I am querying a database that in order to display a list of films. The list is very long and I would like to offer the possbility to restrain the range of results showned by page keeping in mind that the user should be able to browse forward or backward data if applicable. I know that I have to add the LIMIT method in the MySQL query but I have a hard time figuring how not to get lost in setting it dynamically in the PHP script.

Then I have a second question. Is there a more elegant / straightforward way to deal with the display order of the data (cf. $ot, $od and $oy)? Code:

Sticking "if" Or Changes Within A MySQL "where" Array?
I'm not exactly sure how to even ask the question, and I know my terminology
is not good as I'm a SQL beginner, but, here goes.

I need to find a way to make an if statement within an array...or, the
"while" portion of a recordset.

The best way I can ask is show what I mean.
http://oscarguy.mechphisto.net/awardbrowse.php
If you go there and select an award (like Best Picture), leave the year
field alone, and select YES and submit, you'll see a lot of results. And I
have HR's dividing each entry.

What I need to do is group all the entries of the same year, or at least
only put HR's between the blocks of years.
So, I'd have all the entries for 2002, an HR, then all for 2001, an HR, etc.

Here at the bottom I'll include my PHP code I'm using so far.
But I have no idea where to even start looking for an answer...if it's even
possible.
If someone can just give me the name of the function or process or
technique, then I can go Web/book searching myself...I just need a direction
of where to go.

i'm having a problem with my setcookie() instructions. Although there are absolutely
no html tags in front of them,for some reason PHP3 sends me back the message "oops...php3_SetCookie called after header has been sent"...

I do however use two "require" calls, one to a file with a .php extension, and one to a file with an .inc extension. At the beginning of each files there's a Could the cookie failure and the include functions be related ?

if (@ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass)) {
echo "Connected at $ftp_user@$ftp_server
";
} else {
echo "Can't connect with $ftp_user
";
}
?>

I have the following message :

Connected to 192.168.25.25
Warning: ftp_login(): 'USER': Invalid number of parameters in
E:www est_ftp.php on line 26

I tried to : ftp_login($conn_id, "", "") but i have the same result...
