Problem using header('location:url')

pablogosse

Hi all. I'm running into some problems with header('location:url') that I'm hoping someone can help with.

OS is RedHat 8.0, browser is opera 6.11 and PHP version is 4.2.2

I have a logout page in my application which has the following code in it:

<?php
session_start();
session_destroy();
header('Location:/wms/index.php');
?>

However, whenever I hit the logout button, the browser goes to logout.php but does not redirect to /wms/index.php.

Instead, all I see is logout.php in the address bar, and the following:

Redirected to:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Generated by Opera ©

If I hit F5 to reload the page then it redirects to /wms/index.php as it's supposed to.

Can anyone give me an idea as to what the problem is?

Thanks in advance,
P.

Does it output any header already set errors.
If not try getting rid of that / before the wms

Nope, no header errors occuring, and I've removed the /.

Now it seems to work sporadically, neither succeeding or failing 100% of the time.

The other thing that's weird here is that some (read: most) pages seem to be cached for some reason, when each and every page should be pulling info from the database.

I've set Opera's preferences such that it shouldn't cache anything, so this is very strange.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Pablo
