I kindly need help in detecting the error in this code...it is from a video tutorial[Lynda.com - PHP with MySQL Essential Training] i am following to learn php. According to his instructions which i followed to the letter things should work(and it did on the video) but when i tried it on my system i kept getting the errors as shown below..

what i'm i doing wrong and how do i go about correcting it...

Here is the raw code itself

<?php
// This is how you redirect to a new page
function redirect_to($new_location)
{
header("Location: " . $new_location);
exit;
}

$logged_in = $_GET['logged_in'];
if ($logged_in == "1" {
redirect_to("basic.html";

} else{
redirect_to("http://www.lynda.com");
}

?>

the images below show both the error and a capture of the code from notepad++ for accurate analysis.
Please i need someone to kindly tell me step by step what do to move forward
thanks

Hmmm. Try removing extra spaces and newline... The error occurred because something is already sent to the browser with processing the page..

thanks for the prompt response..i have tried it and even checked and rechecked..the thing is i am a newbie and still learning so all the line where the errors occurred i have checked.
this is a direct capture from the video itself...just take a look and you will see that it is exactly(i think so) as my own above.
thanks once again.

the problem was actually from me..there was nothing wrong with the code..it was in the typing of the address on the browser that i had the problem

i should have typed

http://localhost/php/sandbox/redirect.php?logged_in%20=0

but i was typing
http://localhost/php/sandbox/redirect.php?logged_in%20 =0

Notice the space before the equal to sign....there shouldn't have been any space there...

chaii i had 3 whole sleepless nights with this tiny issue..i doff my hat to you guys ahead..it wasn't an easy road..
thanks once again. i hope you will all be there for me as i climb on..
