Need help with PHP header("Location

[Argolian]

I was wondering if it's possible to retain loaded files and the current error setttings after a

header("Location: xxxx.php")

is issued, for example in this:

// Start up the session - not used yet but there just in case
session_start(1);

// Enable the Autoloader and initialise it
require_once 'Autoloader.php';
Autoloader::init();

// Check if the application has been installed yet ----------------------------
if(!file_exists('Engine/config.php')){
    session_write_close();
    header("Location: install/index.php");
    die();
}

And I get a class not found error when I open the install/index.php

session_start(1);
// @todo: Disable this in the production version .... I already did this in the main index -- do I have to do this on all pages that may error?
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_STRICT);
ini_set("display_errors",1);

// Because we jumped here, we have to reinstall the autoloader -- why?
require_once '../Autoloader.php';
Autoloader::init();

While I can understand I wouldn't want this if I was firing off to a completely different site, is there anyway to retain the settings within the same server environment or do I have to reset everything as above.

I even tried using session in the hope that this would 'remember' but it didn't work.

A redirect is a completely new web request that knows nothing about any previously loaded code/classes because it's the same as just entering a new url in the browser.

Is there a reason you need to change locations.

Why not just require that file since the current file is apparently done processing.

require('install/index.php');
