note 103526 added to function.header

When using header(Location:), if you have the same site that you use which has different URIs, for example: www.mainserver.com/a/mysite www.mysite.com you must remain consistent in how you reference it, or $_SESSION[] contents will be lost. An example would be a user enters www.mainserver.com/a/mysite, then based on some decision they make, you want to header(Location:) them to another page. If you header(Location: http://www.mysite.com/page.php), $_SESSION[] will be lost. I solved this by forwarding them to a particular URI before I start saving $_SESSION[] variables: <?php if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "/a/mysite/") !== false) header('Location: http://www.mysite.com'); ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 128.192.32.117 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/103526 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103526/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103526/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103526/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103526/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103526/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103526/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103526 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/103526 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
