This is code that I have in my index that check whether or not SSL

if ($pagename==login || $pagename==signup || $pagename==checkout) {
if (!$HTTPS) {
//header(Location:
https://.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].?pagename=$pagename);
exit;
}
}
This used to work before I upgraded my PHP. Now when I click on a link
that matches my SSL checker it just hangs:
http://www.routerbitworld.com/index.php?pagename=checkout
If I change the header to redirect to a location without any variable
directive like this
http://www.routerbitworld.com/index.php
...works fine. Why can't I send a variable this way?
You need to step back and do some debugging. I assume you just made a mistake
in your email, but you mentioned this not working:
http://www.routerbitworld.com/index.php?pagename=checkout
Now, if this is what your Location header is assigned to, you will send the
browser on an endless journey to find the resource it wants:
1. if ($pagename==login || $pagename==signup || $pagename==checkout)
OK, yes it does (assuming register_globals is on). Let's go to the next step:
2. if (!$HTTPS)
Assuming this works as you expect, this conditional is still true, because you
used http in your URL. So, we continue:
3. Redirect to http://www.routerbitworld.com/index.php?pagename=checkout
Rinse. Repeat.
That would definitely be a problem.
Before I make any other guesses, try this (I always suggest this same thing):
For eac:
header('Location: http://example.org/');
Change this to:
echo 'Location: http://example.org';
Meaning, echo where you're trying to redirect rather than sending the header.
This way you can follow what's going on on the screen.
Hope that helps.
