This wa under an earlier version of IIS and i cant remember what the solution was so try http://myhost.com/foo/bar/myscript.php or /foo/bar/myscript.php or myscript.php -----Original Message----- From: Richard Heyes [mailto:php@heyes-computing.net] Sent: Monday, August 07, 2000 11:41 PM To: PHP Windows Cc: PHP General Subject: Refresh vs Location I've been having a little trouble getting a script to perform a setcookie() function and then redirect onto a different page using header('Location: ...') under Win2k-AS/IIS5. It seems however that issuing a refresh header instead of the location (Refresh: 0; url=...) works quite happily. Is there any reason not to use the refresh header over location (I can't seem to find it in the http1.1 spec either...) both on this platform and potentially others too (ie. apache/unix)? -- Richard Heyes http://www.heyes-computing.net/scripts/ Plain text email only please!
