Re: Location header does not work?

I really appreciate everyone who responded taking your valuable time looking into my problem. Now back to my problem. Changing the condition to "if($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on')" did not make any difference unfortunately. So the result was still the URL in the Address box of the browser changed to https://computing.eng.iastate.edu/mambo/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=159&Itemid=162 fine. But instead of showing the page that https address should point to, 'You are in HTTPS mode' was displayed as the else clause specified.
