note 46171 deleted from function.header by tomsommer

Note Submitter: mae at tidas dot com ---- I found out when using header('Location: ...'); that opera was unable to refresh the page unless the location was from the calling url. Say you are calling a script from index.php?page=somepage and the script has an header like this: <?php // some useful code here.... // all done, redirect back header('Location: index.php?page=somepage&var=somenewvar'); exit; ?> Opera calls the script and then stops as nothing happened. It seems opera is unable to refresh the page unless it is redirected to the exact url it was calling from. ob_flush() and flush(); has no effect. a working example: <?php // some useful code here.... // all done, redirect back header('Location: index.php?page=somepage'); exit; ?> the above code will work. However, a little javascript workaround will fix this: <?php // some useful code here.... // all done, redirect back $redirHTML = '<html><head></head><body><script language="javascript">location = "index.php?page=somepage&var='.$var.'"</script></body></html>'; echo $someHtml; flush(); ob_flush(); exit; ?>
