Http_redirect() [resolved]

[awesomebill61 0]

i am writing a script, and whenever i use this line

http_redirect("process.cgi");

i get a call to undefined function error for http_redirect().

maybe i am misunderstanding what this function is used for..... when i call it, it will take the user to the page indicated... in my case "process.cgi"
that was my interpretation of it from the page in the php manual.

i am running xampp for windows and php 5.2.1

I believe this function requires the PECL Class installed, but I could be wrong. Do you know if you have that in place?
also, do you have any other output PRIOR to this call, since it issues Headers and NOTHING can precede the Header in the page output. Even a blank line sent to the HTML page will cause a problem with Headers being sent.

You may require a different function. Here is a sample of a re-direct that I use. It builds the re-derict URL from scratch.

// Start defining the URL.	$url = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);	// Check for a trailing slash.	if ((substr($url, -1) == '/') OR (substr($url, -1) == '\\') ) {		$url = substr ($url, 0, -1); // Chop off the slash.	}	$url .= '/index.php'; // Add the page. Change the filename to suit.	header("Location: $url");	exit(); // Quit the script.

This was written to redirect within an application. If you need to re-direct to another location on the web, I would suggest another method.

bah. yea it says right at the top of the page it is part of PECL... that would be the problem.thank you for figuring out what my absent-mindedness could not

But how to redirect after using include and require?

 

The header says error.

You can use this code:

 

PHPTAGOPEN

Ob_start();

PHPTAGCLOSE

 

/////

Your code ,include header(location:...);

////

 

PHPTAGOPEN

Ob_end_flush();

PHPTAGCLOSE
