Hi all.
I have a site where I include pages within pages. Well, for some of
the pages I want the user to be logged in, while others I don't care.
I'm doing something that I thought was not allowed by the header()
function.
<!-- index.php -->
<html>
<head>...</head>
<body>
<?
if ($subPage = $_GET['page'])
include ("$subPage");
?>
</body>
</html>
<!-- some subpage that requires a login: subpage.php -->
<?
if (!$_SESSION["loggedIn"]) {
header ("location: login.php");
exit;
} else {
...
}
?>
As you can see, by the time that index.php includes the subpage, it
has already outputted HTML. According to using the header() function,
you are not allowed to output any HTML *before* using header().
However, I am doing this and it is redirecting fine.
I have hypothesized why it is still redirecting appropriately...
*subpage.php* has not outputted HTML before it does the check, only
index.php, so it does not fail. Is this correct? Any help is
appreciated. It appears to work fine, but I don't want to be
surprised in the future by my application breaking suddenly!! =D
Thanks,
~Philip
