Syntax error when redirecting with header

  • 772

I try to do a redirect with headerlike this:

header('location:perfil.php?CodUsua=<?php echo $_SESSION['CodUsua']; ?>');

I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'UserCode' (T_STRING), expecting ',' or ')'

What would be the correct syntax?

php

    If you're doing header, that means you're already in PHP. You don't need to reopen <?phpor write with echo. That's why you get the syntax error.

    To fix it: just concatenate the session variable to the string you already have using the operator .:

    header('location:perfil.php?CodUsua=' . $_SESSION['CodUsua']);
