Subject: [PHP] header() confusion

 Hello,
 several months ago I discovered that under some IE 4.0 and upgrades of 4.0 the 
header() function would simply not redirect if 
 you don't put exit() right after the header() call.  Now I'm discovering that 
header() does not work under netscape 6 if you put 
 exit() right after!
 
 How come this function is so dependant of the client? How can I avoid all this mess? 
Has anyone experience this?

It's not dependent on the client. The script just simply doesn't
stop after header(). It's just a bit strange that it worked with
some other browsers. Everything after header() will just be executed
until:

- an error occurs
- the script reaches the end
- exit;

So... when redirecting the user to a different page, you should
always put exit after the header() call.

Yes that's what I do but it freeze on netscape 6 ?
Does anyone has experience this or am I the only one ?

FAFAIK the client's browser can't influence the header() call in
your script. Are you sure there aren't any errors somewhere else. Eg
before the header() call or at the start of the page where you
redirect the user to?

Indeed.  A good way to tell if this might be the case is to view the
source of the page you get stuck at.

Yep! Or set the error-reporting-level to eg 2047 and check the 
logfile(s).
