Re: Re: CGI error after header("location: some.php");

Hi Peter,I had a similar problem recently. In my case I found that running the app. with 'High (Isolated)' Application Protection caused the fault. As soon as I switched to 'Medium (Pooled)' or 'Low (IIS Process)', everything worked as it should. I am assuming that you are running IIS. I don't know why this is so with some PHP pages but I have found in the past that running some types of ASP pages resulted in similar behaviour - usually pages that referred to one central page (login page) for access and user rights etc. The ASP engine seems to lose the thread so maybe that is also the case with PHP under IIS.
