Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-05-22 07:25:46] dave dot kimble at gmx dot com OK, I can confirm this is not a PHP bug, but an IQWebFTPServer bug: IQ doesn't pre-process error pages. Thanks. CLOSED ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-05-21 08:39:45] anon at anon dot anon It looks like your error page is not configured to be interpreted as PHP, so everything from <?php to BR> is interpreted by the browser as a single HTML tag. Also the URL in your exit statement should be passed through htmlspecialchars to avoid an XSS vulnerability. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-05-21 07:14:02] dave dot kimble at gmx dot com Description: ------------ I am trying to redirect all external links to pages in http://www.*******.org.au/dave.kimble/ to http://www.davekimble.org.au/ by using header() in 404 error page. Fastream IQWebFTPServer v11.5.5R possibly implicated. If header() follows echo(), I expect error "headers already written". Adding echo statements to debug, the output either doesn't appear, or after <BR> output is the remaining script itself. Same problem with PHP 5.4.0 Test script: --------------- Must be set in web server as Error Page 404 <?php // error page for 404 $uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; if (substr($uri, 0, 12 ) == '/dave.kimble' ) { $restofuri = substr($uri, 12 ); header('Location: http://www.davekimble.org.au'.$restofuri ); exit('Redirecting you to http://www.davekimble.org.au'.$restofuri); } echo ($uri . ' not found<BR>'); ?> Expected result: ---------------- a) Browser URL: http://test-domain.com/dave.kimble/index.htm should return page http://www.davekimble.org.au/index.htm b) Browser URL: http://test-domain.com/xxxx.xxx should return "/xxxx.xxx not found" Actual result: -------------- a) Browser URL: http://test-domain.com/dave.kimble/index.htm returns blank page and response status 404 b) Browser URL: http://test-domain.com/xxxx.xxx returns '); ?> which is the tail end of the script ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62086&edit=1
