PHP - Return Os Info/name From Text Input In Php

Hi people, I really hope you guys can help me out today. I'm just a newbe at php and i'm having real trouble.

Bassically all I want to do is have a user type in a company name in a html form.

If what the user types in the form matches the company name in my php script i want the user to be sent to another page on my site.

If what the user types in the form doesnt match the company name in my php script i want the user to be sent to a differnt page like an error page for example.

this is my html form:

Code: [Select]
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="form_test.php">
  <p>company name:
    <input type="text" name="company_name" id="company_name" />
  </p>
  <p>
    <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />
  </p>
</form>
And this is the php code I'm trying to process the information on:

Code: [Select]
<?php

$comp_name = abc;

if(isset ($_POST["company_name"])){
 if($_POST["company_name"] == $comp_name){

     header("Location: http://www.hotmail.com");
exit();
 }

else{
   header("Location: http://www.yahoo.com");
exit();   
 }
}
?>
The thing is i'm getting this error when i test it:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at D:\Sites\killerphp.com\form_test.php:10) in D:\Sites\killerphp.com\form_test.php on line 17

Please can some one help me out, i'm sure this is just basic stuff but i just cant get it to work 

Cheers.

I've created a function to update the database with the information from the text file...I've already got additional code (not posted here) that displays the orders that have NOT been shipped (and works beautifully). Then when they click the button it should process the text file and update the database (input the tracking number into the database) and change the order status and send an email to the customer, I know I've got something mixed up because it's not working...


function process_shipping($ordernumber, $status=''){
      $order_updated = false;
   
       $check_status_query = tep_db_query("select customers_name, customers_email_address, orders_status, date_purchased from " . TABLE_ORDERS . " where orders_id = '" . $ordernumber . "'");
  $check_status = tep_db_fetch_array($check_status_query);
 
  $orders_statuses = array();
  $orders_status_array = array();
  $orders_status_query = tep_db_query("select orders_status_id, orders_status_name from " . TABLE_ORDERS_STATUS . " where language_id = 1");
  while ($orders_status = tep_db_fetch_array($orders_status_query)) {
    $orders_statuses[] = array('id' => $orders_status['orders_status_id'],
                               'text' => $orders_status['orders_status_name']);
    $orders_status_array[$orders_status['orders_status_id']] = $orders_status['orders_status_name'];
  }

  if ($status!==''){   
       if ($check_status['orders_status'] !== $status) {
        tep_db_query("update " . TABLE_ORDERS . " set fedex_track_num = '" . $tracking . "'orders_status = '". $status . "', last_modified = now() where orders_id = '" . $oID . "'");
        $customer_notified = '0';
     
        $notify_comments = '';
          $email = STORE_NAME . "\n" . EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER . ' ' . $oID . "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL . ' ' . tep_catalog_href_link(FILENAME_CATALOG_ACCOUNT_HISTORY_INFO, 'order_id=' . $oID, 'SSL') . "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED . ' ' . tep_date_long($check_status['date_purchased']) . "\n\n" . $notify_comments . sprintf(EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_UPDATE, $orders_status_array[$status]);
          tep_mail($check_status['customers_name'], $check_status['customers_email_address'], EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, nl2br($email), STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);
        $customer_notified = '1';
       
      tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_ORDERS_STATUS_HISTORY . " (orders_id, orders_status_id, date_added, customer_notified, comments) values ('" . (int)$oID . "', '" . tep_db_input($status) . "', now(), '" . tep_db_input($customer_notified) . "', '" . tep_db_input($comments)  . "')");

        $order_updated = true;
         }
     }
   
  }
 


if ($_POST['update']=='1') {
echo '<div class="dataTableContent" align="left">';
$arr=file("/home/onest4/public_html/beta/fedex.txt");
$x=1;

foreach($arr as $str){
   if (trim($str) != ''){
      if ($x > 3){
         list($tracking,$oID)=explode("  ",$str);
            if(ctype_digit($tracking)){

         echo "Order# $oID, <b>$tracking</b> (DATABASE UPDATED)<br>";
      }
   
      }else{
         $x++;
         continue;
      }
}
}
}

Hi i have this edit form that allows user to mofy data but the problems on the text box is that it deletes the rest of the data after the space from the first word i tried to increase the size of the varChars on mysql but did no work why it happens how can i stop from happening??

this the form input
<input type="text" name="name" id="name"  class='text_box' value="<?php echo $_GET['name'];?>"/>

I'd like to use a text editor like this one: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/examples/full.php for my forums.


But I am not sure exactly how I would prevent abuse and injects to messed up the page, rather than being contained in  the designated area it is meant for.


Could some   one please help me, I know htmlspecailchars will not work, since some of the code needs to render as html
