Re: [PHP] php/ajax question


Mixing Location and Cookie headers has always been hit and miss...

I think you could fix it with session_write_close() or you could just
replace the Location: with:
require 'b.php';
since you are just wasting HTTP connections the way you have it now...

Hi gang:

I have a small php script that behaves differently depending upon
who's calling it. The code is:

<?php session_start(); /* a.php */
ob_start();
$_SESSION['var'] = "test";
ob_clean();
header("Location: http://www.example.com/b.php";); /* Redirect browser
*/
exit; ?>

If the code is called directly, namely http://www.example.com/a.php,
then the $_SESSION var is filled with "text" and the redirect is
realized.

However, if the php script is called via ajax:

-snip- preceding ajax

function sndReq(action)
{
http.open('get', 'a.php');
http.send(null);
}

Then the $_SESSION var is filled with "test", but the redirect is not
realized.

Why can't the php script redirect the browser when called via ajax ?

Thanks.
