无法使用标题重定向特定页面(“位置:../ custom.php?error = emptyfields&uid =。$ username."&mail=".$email”); [重复]

This question already has an answer here:

I'm creating a login/signup page. Where when designing a signup's full Php code I incur a problem where when using header() function in PHP it is not redirecting to other pages. It is always loading the same page. Means, if I am on page 'signup.inc.php' and my header() wants to redirect to header("Location: ../signup.php?error=emptyfields"); it loads to 'signup.inc.php' page again. [Note: my signup.php page is in a folder named as 'includes' that's why I used ../]

I tried using ob_start(); and checked for any white spaces if any but nothing seems to work.

<?php
if(!isset($_POST['signup-submit'])){
    require 'dbh.inc.php';

    $username =$_POST['uid'];
    $email =$_POST['mail'];
    $password =$_POST['pwd'];
    $passwordRepeat =$_POST['pwd-repeat'];

    if(empty($username) || empty($email) || empty($password) || 
empty($passwordRepeat)){
        header("Location: ../signup.php? 
error=emptyfields&uid=".$username."&mail=".$email);
        exit();
    }

I expect the output to be 'localhost/signup.php?error=emptyfields&uid=".$username."&mail=".$email' but the output is 'localhost/signup.inc.php'enter code here
