Question
abspath()
function abspath()
{
echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
}
directory()
function directory()
{
echo '/folder/';
}
Code Line:-
header('Location:'.abspath().directory());
Gives me the following as output:
C:/xampp/htdocs/folder/
When I use
header('Location:'.$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];.directory());
It sends me to my index.php in C:/xampp/htdocs/folder/index.php Why its not working with functions?
I want to go to C:/xampp/htdocs/folder/index.php using this
header('Location:'.abspath().directory());
- Is there any problem?
Solution
The problem is that your functions are echo
ing your output and not returning it. You'll want to change your functions to:
function abspath()
{
return $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
}
function directory()
{
return '/folder/';
}
So you can use the return
ed value (namely $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
or '/folder/', in this case) in your string concatentiation.
OTHER TIPS
Your path should URI when using with header .
Soething like that
header('Location:http://yourpath.com/folder');
In the answer you are using a physical location where file residing
try $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]
