I'll admit right up front that this is an educated guess, but I think you
need to provide an absolute path for the location.
header("Location: http://yoursite/yourdir/maintenance.php";);
Quoted from the online docs:
Note: HTTP/1.1 requires an absolute URI as argument to Location: including
the scheme, hostname and absolute path, but some clients accept relative
URIs. You can usually use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and
dirname() to make an absolute URI from a relative one yourself.
I use header() for redirects all the time as well and have always made a
habit of using a fully qualified URI just because the docs said so. Never
tried any other way so I've never had any problems with it.
Hope this helps.
