header("Location

[anthill]

Hi,

If i type:

header("Location: http://www.website.com");

it obviously redirects to the website, but, i wanna type:

header("Location: http://username:[e-mail]/protected/");

Yet by doing this, it still pops up asking for a username and password, but
if i just copy and paste http://username:[e-mail]/protected/
into my browser it won't ask for a username and password. Can anyone explain
why, and how i can get around it asking for the username and password?

Thanks for taking time to read this post.

Anthony

Might I point out that the way you're trying isn't the best where security is a concern?

I dont know what are you trying to achieve but it would be wiser to put some kind of login in to your page and use cookies and/or sessions to redirect to secured pages.

don't worry about it 🙂

I was just wonderring why it doesn't work thats all.
