    Hi,

    This is part GA question, part PHP question.

    I'm using Google Analytics. I want to set a user defined variable and then redirect the visitor.

    I have something like this:

    <script type="text/javascript">pageTracker._setVar('testuserdef')</script>
    <?
    header("Location: someurl");
    exit();
    ?>

    The problem is I get the error Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent.

    So I guess calling _setvar is considered setting a header even though nothing is actually displayed.

    Does anyone know how I can do both: set a user-defined variable and then do a redirect?

    TIA.

    Shouldn't headers be called before anything else on a page?? Couldn't you do it with a window.location script???
