Hi Max

Well it seems you are messing around with text files rather than a
database - this sounds like hard work :) I'm not sure I fully understand
your issue but are you saying you could not make the code 'refresh' the
comments data on the form page without a javascript redirect?

What happens if you switch off javascript in your browser - does it fail?

You know, this is exactly what happened to me. I was trying to design a
comments page for a weblog to open in a popup. The page had a submission
form that would submit back to itself. 'course, I was banging my head on the
wall trying to come up with a way to get the page to detect whether it had
received a form submission and write the comments to a comment file, and
then include the comment file with the form afterwards. I kept coming up
with the results of fopen(), fputs(), fflush(), and fclose() coming back as
false, which equals failed. I eventually did go to a separate page to do the
file writing, and that page finishes up with a 1-second delay using the
javascript setTimeout() for this command in a standalone function:

echo "location.replace('blogcomments.php?target=".$target."');\n";

Inelegant, but it works. I haven't had too much experience with the header
function, and knowing how long it took me to bang this one out, I might set
something on fire trying it :)

Anyone else had any fun with this issue?
