PHP 4.0 Bug #8744: call to header() causes CGI error

From: emily@crytech.com Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: IIS related Bug description: call to header() causes CGI error Our situation is similar to that in bug report 8571, particularly situations 1 and 2. After adding, updating or deleting a record to a MSSQL database, the user is referred to this function (stored in file which is included in each page): function pageRedirect($inURL) { header("Location: $inURL"); exit; } $inURL is never exactly the same as the current URL - either you are redirected to a completely different file name, or to the same file name with a different query string appended. The record modification part always completes successfully in MSSQL, and the header() function sends the user to the new URL, but this error occurs: [start] CGI ERROR CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of headers. The headers that it did return are: [end] ... and any code in the page that the user has been redirected to is NOT executed. If the user clicks refresh, it does and all is well. This is a PHP web application being ported from a Linux/mySQL environment, where it works, so it appears to be an IIS-specific issue. Thanks in advance for any feedback. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8744&edit=1
