After many hours of frustration, I discovered that Netscape 4.7x handles the Location header differently than IE 5.5/6. Most importantly, if the destination specified in Location is the same URL as the page from which it is called, it does nothing! Use the <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="delay;url=newurl"> instead. This works on both browsers: header("Location: GoToURL"); echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;url=GoToURL\">"; -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+24564 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+24564 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+24564
