note 83505 added to function.http-redirect

I can't use the stupid header() function because I need to pass session variables. I'm using xampp having php 5.2.x. I'm still getting this error msg: Call to undefined function http_redirect Besides, http_redirect does not pop up in zend studio's intellisense. What's wrong? Pls help, thank you! ---- Server IP: 216.235.15.211 Probable Submitter: 203.87.182.142 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.http-redirect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/83505 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83505/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83505/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83505/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83505/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83505/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83505/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83505 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/83505 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
