Simple php redirect problem

Hi Guys

I am trying to do a simple redirect which is not playing the game.

I have a landing page which has a few links to some .php files, which i have installed linking script from tracking202. I have only got the <?php code ?> in the php files.

I keep getting
"Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by etc etc."

I have tried putting the .php files in the root directory,same directory and in a folder of its own, but still get the problem.

This should be fairly straight forward, but it has got me stumped.

Any help would be great.

Cheers

David Mee

    Is there a space or hard return at the top of the PHP file? If so, delete/remove it.

    Yes, that message means that the script is outputting something before the re-direct occurs. Can you paste the actual script.. or some of it in here?

        Thanks Guys

        This is the code which I cut and pasted from tracking202. Just changed the details a bit.

        <?php

        // -------------------------------------------------------------------
        //
        // Tracking202 PHP Redirection, created on Wed Jul, 2010
        //
        // This PHP code is to be used for the following setup:
        // Offer1 on w.Offer1.com/Offer1page1.htm
        //
        // -------------------------------------------------------------------

        $tracking202outbound = '://redirect.tracking202.com/off/xxxxxxx/'.$_COOKIE['tracking202pci'];

        header('location: '.$tracking202outbound);

        ?>

        Had to remove (http) and www to be able to post it.
        Thanks again

        Dave

    Make sure there is no HTML above that script. you can also put the redirect code in an if statement.

    So: if(5+5=10)
    {
    header('location: '.$tracking202outbound);
    }

    I had encountered this type of problem. This can occure if there is some meta information is added into your file. Like you created a text file first n renamed to php. To resolve this issue, copy content of your file, open notepad, paste content n then save file "filename.php" with quotes.

    This should solve your problem.

      Thanks for your input guys

      I created brand new php files with notepad, put "" around the filename, and left no spaces between the lines of code and it worked!!

      I had created the first php files from in expression web, something about that combination didn't work.

      Cheers

        Encoding may have been wrong on the file, that can cause some issues,

    It needs to be done before anything is outputted to the browser so before the <html> tag
