# of output characters < 350 gives 500 Internal Server Error?

[dafletch]

Running php in apache if the html produced by a .php file is less than 350 characters I get a 500 Internal Server Error.

I can't find this documented anywhere and was hoping I wasn't the only one... ANY ideas or solutions welcome.

I'm not getting this error with apache 1.3.27 under linux. Perhaps an example php page that gives you the error would help?

Thanks for your interest.

I only get this error on apache on my development machine (Windows 98) - when I put the files on my website (Linux), they work fine.

It hasn't been a problem in the past, since I've been including commented out HTML to make up 350 characters!

But now I'm trying to redirect using the header() function - I believe this is an extreme case of absolutely NO characters and obviously I get the same error.

The following code works fine on my website, but on my local server, 500 Internal Server Error.

<?php
$Redirect = "redirect.php";
header("Location: http://".$SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
.dirname($SERVER['PHP_SELF'])
."/".$Redirect);
exit;
?>
