rvalkass 5 Report post Posted August 2, 2005 That error normally appears if you try to set a header after it has already been sent. Headers must be set before the script outputs anything to the browser or any action is taken like that. If you need to force another page, try using some simple javascript.

snlildude87 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2005 The code header("Location: mysite.html"); MUST be put at the very beginning of your code...before headers are sent. That's basically all I can tell you without looking at the code.You can also try my script: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/20516-email-scriptform-with-php-how-to-make-a-simple-email-script-using-php/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

electriic ink 1 Report post Posted August 4, 2005 I do not mysql much but don't you have to close the connection with the database? Try putting mysql_close(); before the header command. Also, I've just noticed, that that's not how you redirect someone with php. It should be: header("location:agenda.htm"); Try these small changes and then see if it works Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SystemWisdom 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2005 helloo!, here goes the code: this is the php code: <?php $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "epox", "******") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db ("epox_tribusuburbanas"); $nombre=$_GET['nombre']; $mail=$_GET['mail']; $movil=$_GET['movil']; $fijo=$_GET['fijo']; mysql_query("insert into agenda values ('$nombre','$mail','$movil','$fijo')",$dbh); header("agenda.htm");?> [...] 169650[/snapback] Make sure you have NO whitespace before your <?php tag, as that whitespace will cause PHP to start outputting to the browser, which in turn causes the default headers to be sent... Also, you should specify the full URL to the file to redirect to.. This quote is from PHP.net on the subject: Note: HTTP/1.1 requires an absolute URI as argument to Location: including the scheme, hostname and absolute path, but some clients accept relative URIs. You can usually use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and dirname() to make an absolute URI from a relative one yourself: <?phpheader("Location: http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . "/" . $relative_url);?> I hope that helps!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
