Re: iis header redirect does not update url

Hi everyone, I'm porting an application to an iis server. There is a login process on the app which looks like this: enter username & pass into a form -> submit to a login script which verifies user/pass

    on failure -> go back to login form
    on sucess->redirect to wherever the login form wants to go (there are several different logins, all using the same verification script)

the login redirect looks like this:

    if(!$redirect) $redirect = HOMEPAGE;
    header("Location:".$redirect);

Perhaps I would not assign the home page to $redirect, just play with an else. Also you forgot an space betwen the colon and the URL. After a Header, if you do not want anything else to be executed, its a good practice to write an exit. My proposed code: <?php

    if (isset($redirect)) {
        header("Location: $redirect");
    } else {

header("Location: /user/home.php");

    }
    exit;

?> Hope this helps Regards, Jordi.
