Before I say anything else, I do not have a problem, but I'm curious about the behavior of the header() redirect.

This code:

<?php
//this is firstpage.php
header("Location: nextpage.php");
?>

...works fine except for one thing. Sometimes the Address Bar does not change from saying 'firstpage.php'. Most of the time it does, but sometimes it doesn't.

Is this an IE header bug, or is something happening on the server-side? Does anyone else encounter this behavior?

Thanks for your interest,

Snib

Where will you be in 100 years?

haven't tried it myself, but does it behave the same way if you try it in others browsers like opera and mozilla?

I don't have those browsers..... this computer only has IE.

Thanks,

i'll have a look at it in opera (and any other browser/browsers i have installed) when i get back on my own comp in a few days though...

but without having tested it myself, i'd be inclined to say it was a problem with IE that's causing your problem. wouldn't surprise me at all.

I'd second that. 'Location: newplace.php' is a redirect, and a redirect should display in the address bar.

remember to do exit after header("location: something.php"), it's for security issues... :

header("location: test.php");
exit;
