A POST is a request from the client (browser) to the webserver. PHP's header () is used to send a response header from the webserver to the browser. Wrong way for what you want to do. header ("Location: http://XY") works (if there's a header ('302: Moved Temporarily'); before it), because it just tells the browser "don't use this URL at the moment - try XY instead" and the browser initiates a new request based on that. -- Christian Reiniger LGDC Webmaster (http://lgdc.sunsite.dk/) This is JohnC IMHO, I compaired tri-word groupings here and in his plan and got a good match. - /. posting discussing the likelihood that an AC post that claimed to be posted by John Carmack during his honeymoon (and having the login info at home) was actually from him.
