"Die" problems

[cfm]

Dear everyone,

I've been adding customized error messages to my page using the "die" function of PHP. Currently my "include" function looks like this:

<?php include([url=http://www.cybercory.net/php-bin/styling.php]http://www.cybercory.net/php-bin/styling.php[/url]) or die(header("location:http://www.cybercory.net/php-bin/error.php?type=include" ));?>

Is it possible to use the "header" function within the "die" function? Thanks for your help.

don't think so, I would rather just do if (include fails) {
header(some location);
exit();
}

Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent, either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP. It is a very common error to read code with include(), or require(), functions, or another file access function, and have spaces or empty lines that are output before header() is called. The same problem exists when using a single PHP/HTML file.

So in other words, if anything is sent before the header() function, it won't work. If your include() fails, data's still sent to the browser first I think, so I don't think it will work.

you could take a look at this: http://is.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php

If you've sent any, sure, but not as a consequence of include() failing.

You're missing a quote.

If an include fails it will send HTML input to the browser, thus the header() function will fail.

Speaking from personal experience, of course

It still sends the warning/notice/whatever even with an or?

[Igloo]

Yes, just tested it out to make sure. It still, with an or will return an error.

I did also. Strangely, prepending @ to the include call supresses the die() also.
