I used to use this function to redirect from one php page to another:
header( 'Location: student.php?cnp='.$_REQUEST['name']) ;
In my localhost it does work, but if testing it in internet, it doesn't redirect.
I've also tried to give the full path (like http://.../student.php?...) but still it doesn't work. Does anyone know why and what should I do?
Try this:
header('Location: http://www.example.com/someurl.php', true);
Second parameter replaces previous location header (if any).
Also check what HTTP response code you receive (it should be 30X)
If nothing helps you can always redirect by javascript:
echo "<script>window.top.location='http://www.example.com/someurl.php'</script>"
This is not so professional but works even if headers has already been sent.
Try adding session_write_close(); before and exit() after:
session_write_close();
header( 'Location: student.php?cnp='.$_REQUEST['name']) ;
exit();
Just saw the error message in the comments. Add ob_start(); to the top of your pages, under the session_start() if you have that.
I tried this solution and it didnt work
header('Location: http://www.example.com/someurl.php', true);
So I suggest people to go with these two possible below solutions which worked for me.
using JS:
echo "<script>window.top.location='http://www.example.com/someurl.php'</script>"
using META:
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" Content="0; URL=http://www.example.com/someurl.php">';
These two both worked for me. But for some reason header thing doesnt work on the net but works locally perfectly fine. I am gonna be using meta solution.
Your header() is not working because the header was already sent to the browser.
Use ob_start() at the beginning of your page (even before the DOCTYPE declaration). And at the end, use ob_end_flush()
Try This www.psychocodes.in
<?php
ob_start();
//more code
header("Location:URL");
ob_end_flush();
?>
I just had the same problem this advice worked for me. Place this function at the top of your code:
function move_to(){
header('Location: student.php?cnp='.$_REQUEST['name']);
}
and call that function anywhere with:
move_to()
Btw, I'm not gonna take credit for it. I just found it at: Header function not working PHP
