Header redirect does not work. Please help!

tifoso · December 15, 2010

Here is the webpage.php which executes data entered in the email form. I want to display a webpage which would confirm that the email has been sent but the header redirect does not work. An email gets sent but a blank page is displayed instead of confirmation. Can anyone help? this is urgent

<?php error_reporting(6143); 

require_once('recaptchalib.php');

$publickey = "6Ldmbr8SAAAAAGT17oCjkB8Y60kSqvq_0w7APAJp"; 
$privatekey = "6Ldmbr8SAAAAAMY5lEl-7LnkWCovoFa9G7Vl3_kA";

isset($_POST['Email']) ? $Email = $_POST['Email'] : $Email = "";
isset($_POST['name']) ? $name = $_POST['name'] : $name = "";
isset($_POST['surname']) ? $surname = $_POST['surname'] : $surname = "";
?>

header() must be called before ANY output to the browser, including the HTML interspersed in that code.

So I moved the header() above the content that is displated in the web browser but it did not help :/

no, you didn't...

It must come before any html whatsoever (even doctype and the html tag)

tifoso · December 15, 2010

If I move it higher than the confirmation.php is displayed automatically when I go to email-form.php so I don't even have a chance to fill in the email form as it takes me staright to confirmation.php which should be displayed when I press "Submit" button on the email form.

PHP is serverside, you can have lots of php before the header(), but you can't echo something out before it. If you need to check something and it gives some message before it, then save the message in a variable and echo it at a later point in the script o.o

Of everything sent to the client (html), header() should be before it all.

tifoso · December 15, 2010

I'll have a go with saving a message in a variable later on today. I do understand that header() should be before everything that is sent to the client, but when I do so, then the confirmation.php is displayed automatically when I go to email-form.php :/
