redirect to index.php, problem

Anon

Hey...

I have experienced a problem with my main-site (index.php).

On the site I have 2 forms that both work as "drop-down menu-link", meaning that If I choose an option and hit "GO" I get redirected to another page.

Well, the problem is that this only works when i type the whole url
like for example
www.sitename.com/index.php

but not when I type
www.sitename.com

I put this code at the top of my page (index.php)
<?
if ($POST['teams2']){
$teams22 = $POST['teams22'];
header("location:team.php?team=$teams22");
}
?>

What can be the problem? This is really bugging me
thanks guys/girls

r u saying that ... if you type the complete url in the browser, it gives you the page ... but if you type the url without the name of the main page (index.php) ... it gives you "Page cannot be found" error message?

if that is the case, check the apache configuration file (http.conf or something like that). Add index.php as one of the directory_index.

Check out the manual for header.

I mentions that only some clients allow relative linking using the "Location" option in the header command. If your client doesn't support it then you have to enter the complete URL.
