Driving me nuts ...did I find a bug!? Help!!

[ssmK]

Hey, I'm working on a script that redirects after a form has been submitted.  Here's the problem:

The page the user is redirected to uses $_GET[] variables like this:

Example:
[filename].php?s=100&np=3&sort=d

Now, the page uses the header(); function to pass the URL.  The problem is that header will NOT pass the numbers, it redirects me to this page:

[filename].php?s=&np=&sort=  (<-- no values)

I have assigned the URL to a variable and have used echoes to be 100% positive the string which header(); is using does in fact have the numbers in there.  Somehow the values are getting cut out.  Have I discovered some new bug, am I missing the incredibly obvious?? Help  :'(

post the code for it

[code]<?php
$s=$_GET['s'];
$np=$_GET['np'];
$sort=$_GET['sort'];

$url = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'/view_items.php?s='.$s.'&np='.$np.'&sort='.$sort;
$header = 'Location: '.$url;

header($header); //This produces problem described
?>
<a href="<?php echo $url; ?>">Click</a> //This takes me right where I need to go[/code]

btw, this echoes TRUE ....
[code]<?php if ('Location: http://127.0.0.1/oti/view_items.php?s=100&np=3&sort=d'==$header){echo 'TRUE';} ?>[/code]

headers should be called like this:

[code]
header (Location: "http://www.blahblah.com");
[/code]

yours is printed as this:

[code]
header (Location: http://www.blahblah.com);
[/code]

Wierd because I do the same thing you do with no issues:

[code]

header("Location: ". $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) ."myfile.php?id=3&num=45");
exit();

[/code]

Seems to work for me :)

Thank you for the reply, however, this is different from how my book describes header(); usage.  I tried this anyway, and it doesn't work.  Thank though.

Works for me too, but it doesn't work if you actually put variables in there.  Works just fine entering it as plain text.

Anyone?
