a quick echo statement here to check that this block is running when you expect it to might tell you something... but you have probably already plastered your code with echo/print statements to determine the flow :-)

header("Location: adminTicketMgmtCreationForm.php"); } The above does not work on the else statement. If $errorsReported is blank the header statement does not work, the script just exits. I have had a long day and I may not be seeing something correctly, can anyone see an error with this? If so, can you tell me where I am going wrong?

having read the other replies to this post I'm a little perplexed... I was wondering if adminTicketMgmtCreationForm.php isn't crashing? I sometimes get into a situation where an include file has a syntax error that causes complete failure (blank screen, nothing in log), I have had the same on occasion with require_once() statements that fail.... so maybe the redirect is working only the destination page is silently dying on you.... I assume that you are not outputting anything before the call to header.
