That code should work, and the example on your site seems to work for me. The only thing you should make sure is that $url is an absolute URL, even if you're redirecting within your own site (e.g. you shouldn't use ../lyrics/ or /lyrics/) - you may be able to get away without doing this but it's not the "correct" way to do things. You may want to change your code to this: header("Location: $url"); // no point in concatenating since double quotes will interpolate the value of $url anyway exit(); I can't remember why, but calling the exit(); function fixed a problem I was having a while back when I was being sent to the right URL but the old one was staying in my browser address bar.
