header() function in php

Question

I'm currently working on a site with authentication using PHP sessions with a database. i dont know how to solve this.

header("location:singleprod.php?product_id=$row['product_id']");

the header is not working. The error shown is Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '' (T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE), expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or number (T_NUM_STRING)

Any help please.... Thanks in advance.

quick solution will be to add ob_start at the first line of the file just next to the php opening tag like — manian, Jun 19 '17 at 06:11
its not getting redirected. The error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '' (T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE), expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or number (T_NUM_STRING) is shown — Ayanti Goswami, Jun 19 '17 at 06:12
The code is basically some thing like this.. if (!$result_insert_user) { echo 'Query Failed '; } else { header("location:single_prod.php?product_id=$row['product_id']"); } — Ayanti Goswami, Jun 19 '17 at 06:13
I think you need to post few lines of code above this condition so that it will be useful to help — manian, Jun 19 '17 at 06:16

Just add a space after colon (:)

header("Location: singleprod.php?product_id=$row['product_id']");

Update: why the downvote? I didn't type full url because I answered using mobile.
