PHP 4.2 with Apache 2.035 on Win2k Professional SP2
After upgrading to V4.2 I immediately had problems with the header()
function. Even a simple script:
<?php
header("Location: index.php");
?>
does not work. Blank page.

Oops. Pardon the above accidental comment submission.
I have experienced this problem which causes the PHP to not complete
the request. It appears that the culprit is the exit() construct. It
also occurs with the die() function. If you remove the exit(); call,
the script does not error.
if($_GET['test'])
{
header('Location: http://www.host.dom/otherdir/");
exit();
}
else
{
echo 'ok..';
}
f you call the above script as script.php?test=1 with a valid URL for
redirect, you will see this error manifest itself.
(Confirmed under FreeBSD 4.2)

I have experienced this problem also with a very simple script:
if($_GET['test'])
{
header('Location: http://www.amigadev.net/forums/');
error_log("redirecting to forums");
// temp fix for broken PHP 4.2
echo '<HTML><head>';
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" Content="0;
URL=http://www.amigadev.net/forums/">';
echo '</head><body></body></HTML>';
// exit();
// die();

I've come over this too. On a Win95 / Omnithttpd - System. PHP 4.2.0
does not even return ANY headers. Thus, the httpd does not retrun
anything to the browser.
This does work, however:
<?php
echo "Content-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\n";
echo "Some text";
?>

I have experienced this same bug on my systems. I upgraded from PHP
4.1.2 on W2k Professional running Apache 1.3.20 to PHP 4.2.0. header()
function seems to stop working.
<? header("Location: http://www.queenstown.com"); ?>
In any browser, no workie, workie, just blank page.
Downgrade to PHP 4.2.1 and the problem disappears.
A search of bug database on version 4.2.0 on all issues and all status'
returns 244 results as of May 1, 2002 and this is the only mention of
header() not working.
