I'm fully aware of that. The issue is not the refreshing (that works
fine)...
Here's a little more detail:
if(!$login)
{
if($failure)
// complain
// show the form
}
else
{
if(user_is_good)
// take them to the next page
else
// complain
}
The //complain in the else section is this:
Unset($login); // so it won't try to authenticate again
$failure = true; // so the form knows to complain
header("Location: login.php");
Okay. So, just to clear things up, I'm not sending anything before
this. This happens IMMEDIATELY after the user clicks on Submit...
What I'm looking for is a way to do this such that the user does not see
anything more than http://host.name.here/rams/login.php in their address
bar when it failed... doing it the way I show above does not work, and
the alternative ( header("Location: login.php?failure=true") ) does not
satisfy my requirement.
So... anybody else?
Ben

You cannot send ANY text or html tag (even a space ) before usin header
function.
If you have to get something displayed.
I suggest to use then :
echo "<HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"4;
URL=login.php?failure=true\"></HEAD>";
