You don't have to. All you have to do is make sure no output comes before your 3rd party software. If you can't avoid this, you can put ob_start() at the very top, and PHP will buffer the output for you, so that headers aren't sent until the script terminates. Whatever works best for you. Hope that helps.

Not sure about deleting the part of the 3rd party code though, I had thought about it alot and I had been itching for it. Can't say that I would remember this 2 months from now with the upgrading parting. Location header, it wouldn't hurt to move it around in the script.

What do you consider to be the network layer? This figure might be helpful
to you:

A better reason is that it also cannot make a connection to a remote
client.

Yeah, this is why everyone was interested - you're wrong. :-)
That code will throw an error is headers have already been sent. Headers
are sent as soon as output begins, so you can either set all of your
headers prior to any output or use output buffering with ob_start().
So, use header().
Hope that helps.

Why not delete that part of the 3rd party code then? Or send your Location
header before you call it? Curl won't help you here, for the same reasons
that fsockopen won't work.

Re: [PHP] fsockopen to spit out the HTTP's Location...
Boy! Everyone here is itching for an answer!!! :-) Sigh! Well, I guess
all web browsers suck at it by the way!! Michal Migurski from other posting
had explained that fsockopen() do the TCP stuff or the Transport Layer. So,
no wonder fsockopen() can't get to the Network layer, like the IP Address
stuff. I'll think of a workaround to the header() instead. I don't want to
use cURL because it take more time. And finally, for those of you who are
dying to know the answer to why I can't use the header(). It's the 3rd
party coding that contain the code,
--snip--
if(headers_sent())
$this->Error(' ');
--snip--

I'm asking anyway. :-)
You cannot (thank goodness) connect to a remote client with fsockopen(),
so you can probably save yourself some trouble by forgetting this whole
approach. You need to focus on why header() is not working for you,
because this is the way to send HTTP headers to the client.

That won't get sent to the browser, it will get sent to 192.168.0.2, which
is (I guess) some machine behind your router. You can't initiate a TCP
connection -- what fsockopen does -- with the client's machine.
I'll ask even though you said not to - Why doesn't header() work?

Re: [PHP] fsockopen to spit out the HTTP's Location...
In plain english, can't use the header("Location: "), so have to use the
fsockopen() instead. Just that header() is not allowed, don't ask me why.
Just couldn't get the browser perform the HTTP LOCATION event. It does work
when using fsockopen() for HTTP POST or GET as stated in the
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php with the user's comment.
What could be more difficult than this?
--snip--
$host = "192.168.0.2";
$port = 443;
$url_str = "ssl://www.whatever.com?str1=true&str2=false&str3=true";
$fp = fsockopen("ssl://".$host, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout = 30);
if(!$fp){
echo "$errstr ($errno)\n";
}else{
//send out to the browser.
fputs($fp, "Location: ".$url_str."\r\n");
fclose($fp);

I feel certain that I can help you, but unfortunately I can't seem to understand your question at all. Please understand that I'm not trying to criticize your question, but there are some things that confuse me. For example, HTTP is a protocol, and I must assume that you mean HTTP headers (rather than scripts). More importantly, unless you really know what you're doing and have a very specific environment, there is no way you can connect to the user using fsockopen(). > In this case, the "Location: " script. I can not use the php > header() function because of the FPDF strict checking. Can you explain this? Why can you not use header()? I think your assumption is wrong. I can't erally make out the rest of your message, but I think that if you can explain these statements, the rest might make more sense.

[PHP] fsockopen to spit out the HTTP's Location...
Hi! I haven't found the right wording to spit out the HTTP scripts to the web browser through the fsockopen. In this case, the "Location: " script. I can not use the php header() function because of the FPDF strict checking. (Freeware PDF). All I did was to create a PDF and put it on the webserver with nothing being outputted but FPDF have no way of knowing this and think I'm spitting out the PDF data because I'm using hte "Location: ", so I'm using fsockopen() instead. For now, when I tried to spit out the "Location: " from fsockopen(), nothing happen. So, what exactly should the HTTP script be??
