I am trying to do some redirection within my PHP script, but have been unsuccessful.
I have the following snippet of code - depending on which branch is taken, I would like to redirect to a certain page. I'm checking the variable hostName to make sure that it contains only alphanumerica characters. If it has characters other than alphanumeric, redirect the script to page X. If it's clean, redirect to page Y
$validateString = '^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$';
if (!ereg($validateString, $hostName))
{
//redirect to page X
}
else
{
//redirect to page Y
}
I have attempted to user headers, but I get the following error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/apache2-default/coen285/validateLogin.php:8) in /var/www/apache2-default/coen285/validateLogin.php on line 47
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions to fix the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

When you use header function to redirect and if there is some browser output before that redirecion it will displays that kind of errors. Try to fix the errors or don't print the output from the file "validateLogin.php" before header("location:somefile");
Dibyendrah...that worked! Oh, man...oh, man, do I owe you! Thank you so much for that. I don't think there would have been any way that I figured it out. Forums are awesome!
