Bug #62086 [NEW]: header() in 404 error page

From: Operating system: Win 7 Ult 32 PHP version: 5.4.3 Package: Other web server Bug Type: Bug Bug description:header() in 404 error page Description: ------------ I am trying to redirect all external links to pages in http://www.*******.org.au/dave.kimble/ to http://www.davekimble.org.au/ by using header() in 404 error page. Fastream IQWebFTPServer v11.5.5R possibly implicated. If header() follows echo(), I expect error "headers already written". Adding echo statements to debug, the output either doesn't appear, or after <BR> output is the remaining script itself. Same problem with PHP 5.4.0 Test script: --------------- Must be set in web server as Error Page 404 <?php // error page for 404 $uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; if (substr($uri, 0, 12 ) == '/dave.kimble' ) { $restofuri = substr($uri, 12 ); header('Location: http://www.davekimble.org.au'.$restofuri ); exit('Redirecting you to http://www.davekimble.org.au'.$restofuri); } echo ($uri . ' not found<BR>'); ?> Expected result: ---------------- a) Browser URL: http://test-domain.com/dave.kimble/index.htm should return page http://www.davekimble.org.au/index.htm b) Browser URL: http://test-domain.com/xxxx.xxx should return "/xxxx.xxx not found" Actual result: -------------- a) Browser URL: http://test-domain.com/dave.kimble/index.htm returns blank page and response status 404 b) Browser URL: http://test-domain.com/xxxx.xxx returns '); ?> which is the tail end of the script ! -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62086&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62086&r=mysqlcfg
