Also, FWIW, you're supposed to also change the HTTP response code to one that explains the reason for the redirect. Some server setups will throw a 500 Server Error if you use just Location. So add the following before any other header output: header($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'].' 302 Found'); The HTTP RFC offers various 3xx response codes and you should make the effort of using the appropriate one. Other often useful responses are "301 Moved Permanently" and "303 See Other". The actual text doesn't matter but the code does. -- Romanian Web Developers - http://ROWD.ORG
