My page does everything I want it to do, but, redirect the user to the page I list in the "header". Can someone tell me if the "Header" is in the right place. I know the header has to come before any output to the browser(echo, print..etc). Help...smile
Thanks In Advance

do you get a blank page?
is there an error of some kind?
header ("Location: http://www.example.com/file.ext");
After the email is sent to tell the user that he/she is registered, I want to redirect them to the login page. There they can login to the members'section with their new password. The browser seems to stay on the email message sent to the new member, and doesn't redirect to the "Login/Logon" page...
Thanks,
Senmar
header ("Location: login.php");
that would mean that login.php is in the same directory as the script that is being executed. Is this the case?
You always come through...
Use the "Absolute Header:
header ("Location: [mysite.org...]
Thanks Again,
SenMar
Do I always have to use the "absolute header"?
The "login.php" is in the same location as the other files. I'm just testing them...
Thanks,
SenMar
simple question: does your Header() go BEFORE ANY text into browser?
because if you first show the message like "Congratulations! You are registered user now!" and then somewhere Header(); it will not work.
IE craps out if header() is sent to the browser after any display code has been sent to it. Therefore, to get header() to work properly across browsers, you must sent header() to the client side before anything else.
and see if there are any mistakes.
Maybe the problem is with sending the email? Especially if $_POST['email'] is not set!

echo '<p>You are now registered. An email has been sent to your email address confirming the information.</p>';
exit(); // Quit the script.
take out that echo line. and the absolute header crap that you seem to think works. that's a backdoor in programming.
