Thank you for your explanation! I never knew about the difference between the
two. Actually, I never knew that "return" could take a URL as an argument.
So, to go to another component or URL, I thought "redirect" was basically the
only way to do it. I guess from using other languages, I thought return is
used alone (i.e., "return;") or with some status code (i.e., "return 1;").
I guess I need to think what I've done and see if my redirect's should be
return's... Thanks again!
Ray
