Having trouble with php code to redirect

Question

I am a beginner in php.. I need to redirect from one php file to another php file.. I used this code for this.

header("Location: stu_rep.html");

but it shows this error..

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\auttvl\admin\stu_rep_view.php:241) in C:\xampp\htdocs\auttvl\admin\stu_rep_view.php on line 492

I need to know what is wrong,Is there any other way to redirect without using header?

Thanks!

What ever you are adding in to header you have to write it before sending any actual output to the client — Ganesh Patil, Jun 25 '14 at 07:39

Header(); sends a HTTP header. But HTTP headers can only be sent before anything else. In your case, you are probably printing something out before using header();. Remove the printings and your done.

thanks got the output.. I have both html and php in a Single php file so i confused – user3763227 Jun 25 '14 at 07:44
You shouldn't put both into one file. Put your html into templates, so they are seperated from the PHP code. You always should have logic(PHP) and design(HTML/CSS) seperated. – Xatenev Jun 25 '14 at 07:45

Headers must be sent before any output is generated on the website. To "work around" this, you can add ob_start(); to the top of your file.
