header() issue

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 14.2006

Hi

I ve a header redirection to a page with certain arguments. The code is something as follows in page1.php for the header redirection….

header(“Location:page2.php?fname=$fname_fld&lname=$lname_fld&addr=$addr_fld&city=$city_fld&state=$state_fld&country=$country_fld&zip=$zip_fld&phone=$phone_fld&email=$email_fld”);

… where the arguments will be having values from certain variables of page1.php.

On the local machine the arguments are forwarding correct values from Page1.php to Page2.php but on the remote server where the pages are uploaded I m not getting the values of page1 to page2 through header, the fields are blank in the address bar.i.e.they do not contain any data.

Is it any issue with the limit of data which the header() can take and is there any setting to be adjusted in php.ini to enable header.php to do so

Plz help

@bathurst_guyMar 14.2006 — you may have global variables turned off on the remote server, therefore try $_GET['fname_fld'] or $_POST['fname_fld']for each of the variables

@bokehMar 14.2006 — Change this: [code=php]header("Location: age2.php?fname=$fname_fld&lname=$lname_fld&addr=$addr_fld&city=$city_fld&state=$state_fld&country=$country_fld&zip=$zip_fld&phone=$phone_fld&email=$email_fld"); [/code]
to this: [code=php]print("Location: age2.php?fname=$fname_fld&lname=$lname_fld&addr=$addr_fld&city=$city_fld&state=$state_fld&country=$country_fld&zip=$zip_fld&phone=$phone_fld&email=$email_fld"); [/code]
This should let you see what is wrong.

@bokehMar 14.2006 — Also it should be [code=php]header('Location: http://domain.com/path/file.php');[/code] Note: HTTP/1.1 (as per RFC 2616) requires an absolute path for a header redirect.

@arpan_biswasauthorMar 14.2006 — I m getting correct redirection with the relative path ... so thats not an issue.

[I]Location:[/I] is not your average header that is sent as is to the client, it is a special header that is processed by the server and obviously your input is confusing the server. [I]Location:[/I] is handled by the server because it is not simply a matter of sending that one header the server also needs to send a 302 response.

Success!
