After processing POST data, I usually write header("HTTP/1.1 303 REDIRECT"); header("Location: http://$absurl"); which should be the correct method (strictly speaking, 302 for HTTP/1.0 clients) After uploading the working scripts to our ISP the first line gave an 500 Internal Server Error. I could not find out what triggered this error, as everything else was working fine. I have no access to the apache-error-logs nor the configfiles. phpinfo() returns apache 1.3.27 (Red-Hat), PHP 4.1.2. Taking the hint from the documentation and changing to header("Location: http://$absurl"); header("Status: 303"); worked for me. I don't know what circumstances made the 500 ISE happen, but if it does for you, try Status. (since I read somewhere about an PHP bug in an old version, I also first set the Location, then the Status. Checking via Telnet to Port 80, it sets the status correctly) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+37928 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+37928&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+37928&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
