Problem: Redirecting

Hi guys,

I have a problem of redirecting, and this is part of my script where the error occurs:

<?

if ($login == 'Ok')
{
?>
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>You're Logged In!</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY><CENTER>Congratulation You're logged in</CENTER></BODY></HTML>
<?
}

header ("Location: UserControlPanel.php");

?>

It gave me the following error:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /path/to/the/file/login.php:120) in /path/to/the/file/login.php on line 182

I want it to work just like how it's working in any forum when you login to the forum, it redirect to a temp page telling you "Thank you for login" and then redirect to the forum sections or your control panel. How can I do something like this?

RE: Problem: Redirecting

Use a meta tag instead. The header function in php can't be used if you want to display something to the screen and then redirect...

php Code:

Original - php Code
<? if ($login == 'Ok') { ?> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>You're Logged In!</TITLE> <META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="5; URL=http://www.yoursite.com/UserControlPanel.php"> </HEAD> <BODY> <CENTER>Congratulation You're logged in</CENTER> </BODY> </HTML> <? } ?>

<?
 
if ($login == 'Ok')
{
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>You're Logged In!</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="5; URL=http://www.yoursite.com/UserControlPanel.php">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<CENTER>Congratulation You're logged in</CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>
<?
}
?>

RE: Problem: Redirecting

just to mentione:

(i am not shure about this, but i think i so smth like this on one page.)

u can use "delay" paramether to the header() function just as in <meta http-equiv tag...

so, this could be ok, and u could echo smth to the user, and redirect him with redirect header, 5 secs later:

header("Location: 5;url.php");

i think i so this in phpBB code, and only to bi used with IIS server.
