Re: session header issue

Thanks, but that's not on the login.php page, only on all the protected pages. Sam Curt Zirzow wrote:

Problem: instead of sending them to the page they wanted to view, they get sent to this URL: login.php?file=/dir/file_name.php?v=123 What's going on here? Why doesn't "Location: $file" return the contents of $file? The session check as well as login.php code are below. I'm stumped here -- thanks! ////----ON EVERY PAGE IN SITE----////// //get name of file user is trying to view $file=$PHP_SELF."?".$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; // session check session_start(); if (!session_is_registered("SESSION")) { // if session check fails, invoke error handler header("Location: index.php?file=$file"); exit(); }

If this is on the login.php, $file has been set here. That will overwrite your $file paramater (assuming your using register globals.) Thus you get your behaviour of url: login.php?file=/dir/file_name.php?v-123 HTH, Curt
