Re: Location header does not work?

Ok, now I'm confused and cannot understand the result of the following code snippet. After click the link that I want to redirect, the URL in the Address box of the browser changed from http to https fine (that's what I expected). But 'hello my friend' was also displayed. How come? ============= if ($option == 'content' and $task == 'view' and $id == 159 and $Itemid == 162) { session_write_close(); if (!isset($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) { header("Location: https://computing.eng.iastate.edu/mambo/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=159&Itemid=162"); } else { echo 'hello my friend'; } ================ Bing > On Tue, 3 Aug 2004 15:34:27 -0500 (CDT), Bing Du <bdu@iastate.edu> wrote: >> The latest message I got was 'Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. >> Unable to load the requested page.This may be caused by cookies that are >> blocked.'. >> > > Your page is redirecting you over and over again.
