This is expected behavior. The HTTP protocol states that Location: headers must be absolute URLs. The fact that relative urls sometimes works is as confusing to most as it is seemingly fortunate. That said, it is the browser which is putting mail.php onto the URL that its working with (it has no knowledge that the index.php in the middle of the url is the real script) and is therefore nothing that can be fixed by PHP.

My original bug ID is showing as some old bug from two years ago *** --------------------------------------------- I was testing some session-setting code that uses PATH_INFO to set session variables from PATH_INFO. After exploding PATH_INFO and using the information, I wanted to redirect back to the page. This didn't work as expected. The page I was attempting to redirect to was treated as a PATH_INFO value. The only way to resolve this was to use an absolute URL as the Location. The whole purpose is to have a single page as the URL. An example URL is: http://hostname/~username/directory/main.php/1/2 This would set the current menu to 1 and the current task as 2. These values are for a sort of breadcrumb system. The tasks are specific to a menu and are pulled from a database to build the tasklist. What ends up happening is $menu gets overwritten with main.php instead of 1. When this is moved to production, the desired URL will actually be: http://hostname/main.php/1/2 which should redirect to: http://hostname/main.php after parsing the PATH_INFO. Reproduce code: --------------- $MYURL="http://hostname/~username/directory/"; list($dummy,$menu,$task)=explode('/',$_SERVER['PATH_INFO']); if($task) { $_SESSION['CurrentMenu'] = $menu; $_SESSION['CurrentTask'] = $task; // This works header("Location: ".$MYURL."main.php"); // This does not: // header("Location: main.php"); exit; }else($menu){ $_SESSION['CurrentMenu'] = $menu; header("Location: ".$MYURL."main.php"); exit; } Expected result: ---------------- PATH_INFO should be parsed properly. PAge should be refreshed as main.php with the session variables set as shown. Actual result: -------------- $menu gets overwritten with main.php instead of 1 after first redirect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25102&edit=1
