note 79574 added to function.header

experienced weird issue on Apache/2.0.54 with mod_rewrite on running PHP 5.2.2 <?php // doing this: header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK", true); header("Status: 200 OK", true); // and then header("Location: /",true); // a bit later ?> causes 500 Internal server error error_log says "[Mon Dec 03 02:39:58 2007] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace." problem gone if first two lines commented out or replaced with <?php header(' ', true, 200);?> if anyone can tell me exactly why this causes a meltdown in apache, please email me. thanks! ---- Server IP: 193.198.184.18 Probable Submitter: 89.164.210.86 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/79574 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79574/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79574/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79574/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79574/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79574/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79574/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79574 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/79574 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
