I am trying to peform a page redirect, the code I am using is:
<code>
<?php
ob_start();
if($SubmittedDepartDate==$SubmittedReturnDate)
{header(&quot;Location: action.php&quot;);}
ob_end_flush();
?>
</code>
However I recieve the error I have listed below, does anyone know why?

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /sites/htdocs/test.es.cib.intranet.db.com/htdocs/organisation/policies/submitted.php:8) in /sites/htdocs/test.es.cib.intranet.db.com/htdocs/organisation/policies/submitted.php on line 13

I have deleted this comment and the error remains the same, still complaining about line 8, which is now
{header(&quot;Location: action.php&quot;);}

I'm with sleipnir here, chances are you're echoing something or another before you set that header, and header's need to be the first thing output from a php script for it to work.

Sorry this is probably my inexperience with PHP showing. I have included the code for the page below which is quite simple, there is an echo in a php code block lower down in the page is this causing the problem?

<code>
<html>

<head>
</head>
<?php
ob_start();
if($SubmittedDepartDate==$SubmittedReturnDate)
{header(&quot;Location: action.php&quot;);}
ob_end_flush();
?>

Hello Your request has been succesfully submitted, you will be contacted in due course as to its status

<?php
$SubmittedDepartDate=$DepartMonth_Drop + $DepartDay_Drop;
$SubmittedReturnDate=$ReturnDay_Drop + $ReturnMonth_Drop;
$newline=&quot;\r\n&quot;;

$TravelRequest;
$TravelRequest[0]=$SubmittedForname;
$TravelRequest[1]=$SubmittedProject;
$TravelRequest[2]=$SubmittedCostCenter;
$TravelRequest[3]=$SubmittedRegion;
$TravelRequest[4]=$From;
$TravelRequest[5]=$To;
$TravelRequest[6]=$SubmittedDepartDate;
$TravelRequest[7]=$SubmittedReturnDate;
$TravelRequest[8]=$Purpose;
$TravelRequest[9]=$newline;

$Tab_Seperrated = implode(&quot;\t&quot;, $TravelRequest);

echo $Tab_Seperrated;

$filename = &quot;DataFiles/TravelRequests.txt&quot;;
$fd = fopen($filename, &quot;a&quot;);
$fout = fwrite($fd,$Tab_Seperrated);

fclose($fd);

?>
</body>
</html>

<html>

that would be your problem... move those three tags below your header() call.
