Hi everybody!
I need help in redirecting my link to a different page within my website. I read the manuan on "Header" function and it stae:
Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent, either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP. It is a very common error to read code with include(), or require(), functions, or another file access function, and have spaces or empty lines that are output before header() is called. The same problem exists when using a single PHP/HTML file. 
<html>
<?php
/* This will give an error. Note the output
 * above, which is before the header() call */
header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
?> If this statement is true, then how do you use header() function in any script that does not contain any "normal HTML tags" since you typically have to output something, whether before or after the call to the header()? It seems to me that type of rule is basically narrows the scope of the script to a very limited thing you can do, such as you can output the registration form to browser to allow the users to fill out the form, which is what I'm trying to. To be specifically, when a page is open, I present (output) a registration form to the users to register and when the user is finished with the form and I validate it and redirect that information to a different page sending those information along. That's all I'm trying to do--redirect from one page to the next without the end-user ever have to click on the link. Thanks in advance! Paul
