Re: Help: header function

thanks for the help.. There was no problem with the syntax.. I used the correct syntax in my code: the quotes and both the host name and the script name.. i didnt mention it properly in the mail.. i have also tried it with absolute URL.. as you have mentioned the problem is: session information is not transmitted in redirection.. is there any way of resolving this problem? i wrote a single script that will allow a user to update the db, if he is logged in or it will display the login form if he is not logged .. once he logs in successfully, i call the script again so that he will be able to update the db.. pls help me.. regards kamesh _____________ s kameshwaran eEL, Dept of CSA, IISc, Bangalore - 560012 Homepage: http://www2.csa.iisc.ernet.in/~kameshn Phone: +91-80-3942368-111 (Lab), +91-80-3942624 (Hostel: U-95) ____________________________________ Eternity abides in the present..
