Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system
is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Description:
------------
I was using the header function to create a redirect using the
"Location" HTTP header. It seems that Apache is sensitive about the
syntax of the header sent.
In the general format <header-name>: <header value> there must be no
space between the <header-name> and the proceeding ":" (colon). 

eg. header("Location : www.somesite.php");

Somehow any spaces between the two doesn't allow the header to be
interpreted properly under Apache (1.xx) and as a result it does not
produce the desired result (redirection in my case) but it works out
fine on IIS 5.0
I spent an hour trying to debug this, hope someone will benefit from
this.
