header() alternative

[Lithium]

This is a shout for help, as i got stucked and can't seem to get this going...

header('Location:'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'/validate.php?page='.$page.''); - This one errors with "Warning: Cannot modify header information" message.

This one works, yet it briefly messes the layout and is slow

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=validate.php?page=<?=$page?>">

document.location.href - this one is not an option.

Also already tried to clean out buffers before redirecting but outcome is the same.

Any ideas?

Re: header() alternative

Add to top of page: ob_clean();

Then as for your header code:

$page = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

@header('Location: '.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'/validate.php?page='.$page);

exit;

Re: header() alternative

Did you use the above code i gave?

Try adding:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

ini_set('error_reporting', 1);

Re: header() alternative

Tried adding ob_start(); after the <?php

usually works for me.

@ killah the code you have given was one of many tries before my OP.

Thx both :)

Re: header() alternative

That header message usually appears when you have whitespace or content displaying before the header.

The header is announced before the HTML, so the browser can render it. How can it render with HTML to process? It screws it up.

Hope it helps.
