PHP - Header ERROR
in [General]
|
From: Don Wieland on 13 Jun 2010 09:43 Hello, I have a contact form with three fields, name, email, and comment, and a CAPTCHA I am doing some basic validation for empty fields but am getting a PHP error when trying to redirect back to the original page with an ERROR, It seems when my COMMENT field contains <BR>s, it generates the PHP ERROR. No <BR?s works perfectly. Am I missing a function for the comment that is necessary for the GET STRING return? if($_POST['name'] AND $_POST['email'] AND $_POST['comment']) { }else{ header("location: contactus.php?Error=Missing values in REQUIRED FIELDS&name=".$_POST['name']."&email=".$_POST['email']."&comment=". $_POST['comment']); exit(); } session_start(); if($_SESSION['Captcha_Str'] != $_POST['scode']) { echo "HI"; header("location: contactus.php?Error=You did not enter your SECURITY CODE correctly. It is case sensitive.&name=".$_POST['name']."&email=". $_POST['email']."&comment=".$_POST['comment']); exit(); } Don Wieland D W D a t a C o n c e p t s ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ donw(a)dwdataconcepts.com Direct Line - (949) 305-2771 Integrated data solutions to fit your business needs.

This is a live server, so I am hesitant to find it anyways. I will wait for my partner to assist me with this config so I can see the error. Unless someone know what I am missing by description.

Sorry, we'll do from now on. > > Don If the file doesn't exist you can make it. Some FTP clients may hide the file as it begins with a period. By default, this character is used to hide files on *nix-based systems. Windows tends to choke every now and again on .htaccess files, as it sees it as a file with no name and just an extension. You mentioned that there were newline characters in the URL you were attempting to redirect to. URLs can't contain newline characters, so that could be causing it to choke. If in doubt, put the URL into a string first and echo that out and see what the result is. You may need to view the source of the output in your browser, as the browser will be treating that string as HTML by default, which treats whitespace differently.
