OK. the simplest solution is to redirect as you've tried above. if that doesn't work then the reason is, you've already printed something out to stdout and once you've done that you can't send headers anymore. to work around this, you would use the output buffering functions: www.php.net/manual/ref.outcontrol.php there are other workarounds, but that's the simplest. platypus
