HI
I'm having a problem using some php functions in LINUX machines.
I'm trying the "header" function to redirect my visitiors to a specific page & i want to generate the pages dynamically ,
using arguments (For ex. redir.php?img=1.jpg). It is working fine in Windows machine , but not in LINUX/UNIX .
It is giving me error that headers are already sent .
I don't know why it is happening. I tried many things like
(1) I checked the configuration file (Php.ini) . some of the configurations r like that :
************************************************** *************************************************
 arg_separator.input = "&"

 arg_separator.output = "&"

 output_buffering = off

************************************************** **************************************************
(2) i tried changing the code . As i was found that the argument isn't coming from the previous page.
The code i used there is :

*********************************** redir.php ************************************************** ***********
global $link;
if($link=="")
die("error................");
header("Location: $link");
************************************************** ************************************************** **********
now if a link is like that : redir.php?link=http://www.yahoo.com , then it should redirect the visitor to the YAHOO! ,
but it is working in Windows & not in LINUX.
In Windows , i saw this problem when the output_buffering is set to off. So i turned it on , & it is working fine in
windows, but in LINUX , the same problem persists. Using "ob_start() " function , i tuned this function on (manually).
I don't know how to solve this problem.

I'm also unable to use MYSQL database in LINUX . It is saying that the built in PHP functions for
mysql (like mysql_connect() etc.) are unknown functions. Can anybody please help me ?????????


please help me ............... :(

Thanking u

hello,

to enable mysql functions, you normally have to install a different package named something like 'php-4.x.x-mysql-x.x.x.'.

for the header problem, if you are sure that you're not sending header's information before those lines, try to delete any whitespaces before the opening php tag. (Can sometimes be the problem)

In order to avoid your problem, the header function should always be called from the first top lines, after the logic that controls what to write to the header.

Check also that php, apache and dns resolve to the correct host name, (http://your.site.com)

Thanks dikkjo , MYSQL is almost working now. But i am still having some problem with Query strings.
I can't do like that :
http://....../show.php?id=1 ( For example , how can i do that ? can anybody tell me ?) , It is working in WIndows But not in LINUX.

hello,

I think you have to check the register_global directive in your php.ini file. Alternatively you can change all your code and use $_GET or $_POST to retrieve the value you need.

you should also read this:
