(Do I use) html_header(); (or do I use) header();

Hawkelburry · June 5th, 2003, 01:23 PM

I keep getting an error when I run the registration.php script on page 468. It keeps pointing to the "html_header()" line near the end of the script (on page 472) as being "invalid".

Looking through php.net (as well as the back of the book) seems to indicate that "header();" is the way to go.

If so, what should the correct code look like?

Any suggestions?

For anyone who cares, I figured this one out myself.

If you have an "html_header()" just sitting
around out in the open, undefined . . . then
you are just asking for trouble.

"html_header()" needs to be defined somewhere
as a function in the following format;

function html_header() {
<?
<head>
<title>What Title</title>
</head>
<body>
?>
}

After that, you can call the function without
problem, so long as it has been defined before
it gets called.

Simple stuff, sure, but not when you don't
know what you are supposed to be looking for.
