PHP header fucntion not working on web server

Question

I tried a code on my LocalHost server and it worked perfectly , but when i uploaded the page on web server this redirection function not working :

header('location:ControlPanel/Add_course.php');

Any hint how to fix it ?

there are miriads of possible answers, starting with `error_reporting(0);` ending with `exit;` somewhere in your code — Kevin Kopf, Feb 04 '16 at 12:45

remove all the print statements and echo statements in that page I mean if you are redirecting in main page remove unwanted print and echo as well as ?> . I also had this issue

@MontaserQasem You need to share some code, can't really help you otherwise. sudhakar is right though, can't have any sort of output prior to usage of `header();` functions. – Qirel Feb 04 '16 at 12:55

header() must be called before any actual output is sent, either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP

Combine all your PHP codes and make sure you don't have any spaces at the beginning of the file.

It should be Location not location.

also after header('Location:ControlPanel/Add_course.php'); add exit(); if you have any other scripts below.

If still problem exist, use ob_start() and try below code:-

 ob_start();
 header('Location:ControlPanel/Add_course.php');
 exit();

If none of them working then only use Js syntax to redirect by below way:-

echo "<script type='text/javascript'> document.location = 'ControlPanel/Add_course.php'; </script>";

Hope it will help you :)

well, none of them worked but the JS script worked it will do the job for now. THANK YOU VERY MUCH — Montaser Qasem, Feb 04 '16 at 13:05
