It seems like they can be used interchangeably a lot in PHP but not always. For example: This works: header('Location: http://somedomain.com') This does not work: header('Location: $url') This works: header("Location: $url") Why??? Sorry if this has been asked before, but I didn't find a suitable answer in the archives. TIA. Mike __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
