[PHP] Question: Exiting a script
Say I have a script that processes input data. How do I get the script to work, where after processing the user is taken to another page ? The script outputs nothing to the screen and will end either in failure or success. Seems header won't work for me.

A redirect (Location) header is the only way to send the user to
another page from within a PHP script (that or output a meta refresh
tag, which is a bit messy).
Header will work, providing you haven't already output anything - use
the headers_sent() function to test if you've output the headers
already and do something based on that, i.e:
if (headers_sent())
{
echo 'I have ballsed up somewhere and output some text or
white-space, aborting';
}
else
{
header('Location: http://www.blah.com/page2.html');
}
Best regards,
Richard Davey

I think white space is my problem. What causes white
space ?

Spaces and similar characters, carriage-returns, line-feeds, etc output to the browser. Perhaps before the opening PHP tag, or after the closing PHP tag. Any would screw it.
