Question

This is a simple question which makes it painfully obvious that I need to take a php class…

I have as the first part of a an if / else statement that reads:

if (is_user_logged_in()){
//echo "user is signed in<P>";
header("Location: user-homepage.php");

so if the user is logged in and clicks a link that directs to /register.php, they should instead be redirected to the user-homepage.php.

What happens is they are directed instead directed to /register.php/user-homepage.php

My code is adding /user-homepage.php to the address instead of replacing /register.php with /user-homepage.php

What have I done wrong?

Answer 1

Use an absolute path rather than a relative one:

header("Location: /user-homepage.php");
