Bug description: PHP sends no location header when output_buffering = On
//Bug in PHP 4.0.6
If output_buffer = On AND
session_start() AND
header("Location: ..) AND
no HTML output then
PHP sends no header
You expect the browser to redirect to Location URL.
What really happends depends on the browser:
- Netscape: waits a while and nothing happens
- IE: redirects to search engine
- Konqueror: connection lost
- Some browsers indicate empty document received
Work around:
- when output buffering is on, then add blank line before start of
script
- switch output buffering off
Example PHP page excerpt:
<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['CompanyID'])) {
$Info = urlencode("Please log in.");
header("Location: Login.php?Info=$Info");
exit;
}
// More lines .....
?>
