G'Day Everyone,
In the following code, i the user fills in their login information from the login.php script, then the page is redirected to the login_form.html script running login.php. It then goes into the "validate" case. Now, in this case, i wish to redirect the user to the page "loggedin.php", to show their login information, and to update my links bar. I have used the "header" function in the line-
header("Location: /loggedin.php");
, but for some reason, it will not re-direct me to this page. I know the rest of my script works, because when i type in the link loggedin.php into my browser, it comes up with all the information i need. So, any ideas why this header function is not working?
Here is my scripts
Cheers
