It's just a bit strange that it worked with some other browsers. Everything after header() will just be executed until: - an error occurs - the script reaches the end - exit; So... when redirecting the user to a different page, you should always put exit after the header() call. </Reply> -- * R&zE: -- »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» -- Renze Munnik -- DataLink BV -- -- E: renze@datalink.nl -- W: +31 23 5326162 -- F: +31 23 5322144 -- M: +31 6 21811143 -- -- Stationsplein 82 -- 2011 LM HAARLEM -- Netherlands -- -- http://www.datalink.nl -- ««««««««««««««««««««««««
