This isn't QuickForm's fault. You're outputting somewhere above that code. See my FAQ: http://opensource.21st.de/tiki-index.php?page=PHPFAQs#id482883 > > Basically, I have the code below.

If you put ob_start() at the very top of your code (before anything else is done) then the loaction header should still work. Alternatively you can check to see if a header has been sent and use JS / meta refresh techniques instead. Here's a function I've been using: function redirect($url) { //MSIE on the mac does not do Location headers correctly if ((!stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') || !stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Mac')) && !headers_sent()) { header('Location: '.$url); } echo '<script language="JavaScript1.1"> <!-- location.replace("'.$url.'"); //--> </script> <noscript> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL='.$url.'"/> </noscript> This page has moved to a <a href="'.$url.'">new location</a>.
