How to integrate a constant in Redirection Header of php

Question

It is defined in a config.php file

define("url_money", "www.himanshu1234.net63.net/MoneyManager/");

it is included in some other file like

include_once './config.php';

and used like this

<?php
    header('Location: '.url_money.'login.php');  
}
?>

there is some problem in it but unable to sort out.. !!

Is there any error at all? Even if you check logs/turn on errors? What's the result of echoing `url_money`? — MackieeE, Apr 11 '14 at 18:09
I actually am testing this on a live server. and have put on these, so, I won't be able to produce logs !! — user32876, Apr 11 '14 at 18:13

Change

define("url_money", "www.himanshu1234.net63.net/MoneyManager/");

to

define("url_money", "http://www.himanshu1234.net63.net/MoneyManager/");

When you define some link without http:// then it will be treated as relative link. So you were actually redirected to /www.himanshu1234.net63.net/MoneyManager/

I had an issue like this, and I made a stupid mistake. Then I saw

It is important to notice that header() must be called before any actual output is sent

So, please double-check whether there is any echo or printf, etc... costed me a few hours some years ago!

No bro.. no echo.. Is there any alternate way, what I am trying to do!! – user32876 Apr 11 '14 at 18:16
An alternative would be doing this with JavaScript, it would still be a redirect, but not a php redirect. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/503093/how-can-i-make-a-redirect-page-in-jquery-javascript I've copied the code into a testfile on my server, and it worked immediately. Could you provide more code, please? – Steven X Apr 11 '14 at 18:21
