What I am also discovering is I have to use die; to halt execution for certain things. An example, I check to see if a user is still active in the system, if they are not I use a header to redirect them to a page that tells them they are inactive. if ($userActive == 0){ header ('Location: notice.php'); } As is it does not work until I do this: if ($userActive == 0){ header ('Location: notice.php'); die; }

That's strange, I never have to use "die". Try using an absolute path in header(), like header('Location: http://domain.com/notice.php'), that may fix this (not sure). Also make sure that header() is executed before any HTML is output from the PHP processor, this is a common mistake for new PHP coders. Even a single line of whitespace sent before the header() line will screw it up, and this applies to all header() types, not just "Location:". Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.
