You are such stars for helping me with this - its incredible thank you
so much!

I tried the new redirect method but got errors (missing arguments for
AppController::redirect(), $status and $exit undefined) when I tried
to log in, as this involved a redirect to the login form, so I logged
in and then copied across the redirect override - to no avail - when I
save the changes it redirects to the homepage, which contains no hint
of the error. Also got the site working locally (was my PHP version
thanks so much AD7six) - and can't repeat the defect. Do these point
to Apache or PHP as the cause?

I tried disabling mod_security using:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
        SecFilterEngine Off
        SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
in every .htaccess file in my site, but it didn't make any difference
(I sanitize everything, and it can't be this as it doesn't happen
locally - unless it could be that local is Windows and host is Linux -
seems very unlikely).

I'd really appreciate any tips if anything's obvious about resolving
the redirect override - or does the fact that it works locally mean
this is unlikely to reveal anything?

Tried creating a test subdirectory but suspected it wouldn't work - I
get a 500 error probably related to my non-standard directory layout
(so that my cake and app directories are outside my public_html
directory - seemed safer).

My reason for another site is in case the forum software has somehow
added this filtering site-wide - it seems to be a server setting, (its
only $11). I do get this error when I try the text in any table in the
system (including tables that are nothing to do with tinyMCE and very
little to do with the rest of the code). Will try baking an unrelated
table to see if I can repeat it there but I very much expect to as it
seems platform related.

As far as I can tell, I don't have access to PHP settings - just
CPanel on a shared hosting platform.

Am I right in suspecting Apache or PHP? If so any ideas where I can
look? I can't find anything likely by googling filters for either.
Does Cake automatically use certain PHP filters on all POST and GET
submissions or something?

Thanks HUGELY, I'll be so incredibly happy when I/we crack this
