Re: using meta http-equiv in php



Greetings, Jerry Stuckle.
In reply to Your message dated Monday, March 31, 2008, 21:26:13,

You should use something like:

header('Location: thankyou.php');
die();
Besides the missing scheme and hostname - this was what the OP was
trying, but there was some output _before_ the header() call.
And according to PHP specification, "Location" header must contain fully
qualified address, including protocol identificator and host name.

BTW, nothing wrong in sending some output before header() call... if You
REALLY know what You doing. That all depends on Your host configuration.



Wrong. From the PHP manual under the header function:

"Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent,
either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP."

You CANNOT send output before a header() call. And don't try to claim
you can use ob_start(), etc. That just masks the problem, not solves it.

die(0);



Which doesn't allow the header() call to be sent, among other things.

And even then, it doesn't guarantee the headers have NOT been sent already.


That was order for Your death. You're just a disturbance and thinking that
only Your point of view is right. So, please die without raising any
errorlevels.

I cannot send any output to the user when I have output buffering enabled
(unless I use explicit ob_flush() call). What I mean "If You know what You
doing". And I'm surely know what I doing by zipping output to help ppl get my
pages quickly and successfully.

I was not very precise in my words using "sending" instead of "printing", and
I apologise for that to the rest of newsgroup.

End of statement.
