header function causes 404

[SeenGee]

i'm using a

header("Location: testcookie.php"); 

at the end of a page that process login information. If the info validates against the db then they are redirected to a page that tests whether they can accept cookies or not. The problem is that this redirect is causing a 404 error, has anyone come across this before?, i'm using ob_start() and ob_end_flush() at the start and end so the header() shouldnt be a problem.

help please!

Thanks.

Hi,

use the absolute URL like

header("Location: http://www.myhost.com/subdir/testcookie.php");
