Question

Answer 1

A:

Here you're trying to redirect to a different page and show a message. It can't happpen.

Instead, try using a link, or echo-ing:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="(delay in seconds);URL=(destination)">

in your <HEAD>.

In your case, you want this to be instant, so:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;URL=emailNotification.html">

The better alternative, is simply to not require the page until after the if.

Answer 2

+5 A:

You need to call ob_start before any output has happened. So, for example, as the first statement in your main PHP script file (make sure that there is nothing before your <?php like some whitespace of a BOM).

Answer 3

A:

If i remember correctly the header(); is executed at the end of the execution of the php script , so try moving it in the beginning of the if

Answer 4

A:

You have to buffer the html output, not the php logic. E.g:

ob_start();
<html>...
/* PHP */
...
ob_end_flush();

Answer 5

+6 A:

Check if any scripts included before the ob_start() function are outputting HTML. Sometimes an included file can contain a space after the PHP closing tag. That space will be outputed as is. To fix this, leave the PHP closing tag from your file.

E.g.

<?php
 class someClass {
  ...
 }
?><whitespace>

Can give you some good headaches. This is fine and fixes the above problem:

<?php
 class someClass {
  ...
 }
