Re: reloading a page..

It's definitely going through the if statement as it does "reload" the page - print($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']); shows http://www.myserver.com/oldpage.html - which is correct. print("{$userlevel} and {$neededlevel}"); also shows the correct info. $no_permission does have a string, but even if I hard code the message it still doesn't work. Note though....if I take out include ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']); from the if statement and put in print($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']); and print $message - they both display. So I am at a loss.... > No you shouldn't rely on it to do anything important but in your case > its just where the user will be redirected to.
