AND no HTML output then PHP sends no header You expect the browser to redirect to Location URL. What really happends depends on the browser: - Netscape: waits a while and nothing happens - IE: redirects to search engine - Konqueror: connection lost - Some browsers indicate empty document received Work around: - when output buffering is on, then add blank line before start of script - switch output buffering off Example PHP page excerpt: <?php session_start(); if (!isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['CompanyID'])) { $Info = urlencode("Please log in."); header("Location: Login.php?Info=$Info"); exit; } // More lines ..... ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15493&edit=1
