[phpBT-dev] about header("Location: blah");

[Alessandro P. (T. / J578) <al...@ti...>]

As I experienced in the project I'm mainly working on (phpWebSite), the
header("Location: blah"); directive is not understood fine by some
version of M$ Internet Exploder (should be: IE 5.x and 6). I suggest
this solution (this is what we used):

create a function:

function html_header_location($url) {
 $agent = (phpversion() > "4.1.0") ? $_SERVER[HTTP_USER_AGENT] :
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS[HTTP_USER_AGENT];

 if (stristr($agent, 'msie'))
  Header("Refresh: 0;url=$url");
 else
  Header("Location: $url");
 }

then replace all calls to header("Location: blah") with
html_header_location("blah");

HTH
Bye,
Alessadro
