From: webmaster at digitalanime dot nl Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.3.4 PHP Bug Type: Output Control Bug description: header() works, but not with variables, after a POST request
Description: ------------ Hello there.. I've been fighting with this code for about a day or two, but it just doesn't seem to work.. If I use output buffering, post a form and want to do a header(), it works.... Only it doesn't when I want to use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php ob_start(); // start the outputbuffer if(!empty($_POST) && !isset($_SESSION['form'])) { // my POST is full, but we can't find a session variable... Strange.. There's someone fucking with my site header('location: ' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); } if(empty($_POST)) { // POST is empty... Let's show a form here: // do my form here + make a session for the form } else { // POST is NOT empty... Let's handle the data // handle my data here } if(!empty($_POST) && isset($_SESSION['form'])) { // my POST is full, and the session exists.. Fine, let's unset() it. :) unset($_SESSION['form']); // unsetting the session.. } ob_end_flush(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Well, the first thing I wanted to see, is that the form shows up (yes, it really does, so that's not wrong..) After that, I'll fill it in and submit it.. I get my data and so.. But, if I refresh, the browser asks me if I want to send the data again.... I click yes, and my code works, except for the header(). If I put header('location: index.php'); in it, It works, but not with $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']. EVERYTHING works, except for REQUEST_URI, QUERY_STRING and any of the GET variables.. Actual result: -------------- A whole blank page.. With about:blank in the title bar.. Al that, nothing more, nothing less. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27587&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27587&r=float
