Hi,

I have a question regarding the header() function call in PHP.
I have a simple redirect directive as below in a file http://www.xxxx.com/en/test.php:

<?
header("Location: /en/index.php");exit;
?>

This basically redirects the user to the english index.php page. The
functionality is working just fine, but the url looks strange.

I get after the redirect a url looking like http://www.xxxx.com/en/test.php
even though it is http://www.xxxx.com/en/index.php that is displayed
in the browser. Why is it like that? i want the url to look like
http://www.xxxx.com/en/index.php after its been redirected. Basically
it displayes the correct content with the wrong url.

thanks,

Karolina

First of all, you should use the full URI, i.e.

header("Location: http://www.example.com/en/index.php");exit;

(use example.com - unless you own xxxx.com. That's what example.com,
..org, etc. are reserved for).

And it sounds like maybe you have a redirect on your system - maybe in
your .htaccess file?
