Re: IIS \ Apache and header(location: errors

Bob, To redirect I use a simple little function which doesn`t need URLEncode and works thru Apache without drama although it is a bit of a "cheat" since it is sending a small chunk of client side script... function redirect($url){ echo "<script>window.location.replace(\"".$url."\")</script>"; } (put this near the top of your code or stick it in an "included" library of frequently used functions) in your PHP code you would use it thus ... if ($_POST["txtPassword"] == "" ) { redirect("logon.php?params=".$params."&info=I need a password"); } There are undoubtedly several good reasons why a purist wouldn`t do it that way but hey - it works.
