I think I have to re-explain the problem completely. I want to use this script in a
login form. Once, someone is authenticated, then I register variables for indentifying
him/her through session. After I register those variables I want to redirect him/her
to a page, which required authenticated users (and it's done by registering variables
through session). Due to this, I decide to use header: location. Futhermore, I use IE
5.5, Apache 1.3.26, PHP 4.2.1 [, MySQL 3.23.51] which running on Windows ME. Here is
the script (register globals is off, due to security and default setting in php.ini).
<?php
$user = $_POST['user'];
$user = $_POST['password'];
if (authenticate($user))
{
session_start();
$_SESSION['user'] = $user;
$_SESSION['password'] = $password;
header('Location: http://www.mysite.com/member.php');
exit();
}
else
{
header('Location: http://www.mysite.com/login.php');
exit();
}
?>
When I try this code with an authenticated user, it seemed browser don't redirect to
the page I specify above. The progress bar looked like searching something then it led
to an error. I don't know why this could happen.
Am I missing something?
Thank you.

Someone from www.php.net told me that it can confuse
browser (http://bugs.php.net/19991). But, still I
can't the idea why it can happen. Does register
session means sending a 'header: location' too?
Thanks.
