New Comment:
You are violating RFC by using relative paths in header('Location: ').
Now some webservers handle this, and some stick with RFC and don't.
This is not a bug in PHP.
You should probably use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] to construct your
redirect locations which should work on all web servers.

This has nothing to do with PHP. Different web servers handle this
differently. According strictly to the spec (see RFC 2616 section
14.30) you have to use a full absolute URI in the location response
header. That means that using anything other than a full
http://domain/foo URL is going to give you unpredictable results.

First thing is I tried this on Apache/Linux and had no problems.
I installed the CVS Windows version on my Windows XP Pro box. Today's
date is May 30th, 2003.
I create a virtual directory named "phpbugheader"
inside I've put an index.php page which just says hello world.
Then I create a subdirectory called "test" and put a script in it
called test.php
The location of the file on my box is:
http://192.168.0.3/phpbugheader/test/test.php
The contents of the file are as follows:
<?
// this works
//header("Location: http://192.168.0.3/phpbugheader/index.php";);
// this doesn't work
header("Location: /phpbugheader/index.php");
die;
?>
As you will notice. If I try to redirect to the index page using the
top header call everything works fine.
If I try using the bottom header call what happens is it redirects to
the page (eg the browser displays the hello world message) the problem
is that the location still shows:
http://192.168.0.3/phpbugheader/test/test.php
This only seems to happen when the location starts with / it's seems to
work fine when using ../
This causes huge problems on site with relative images because the
browser seems to think it's in the test directory when it should be in
the base directory.
I can reproduce this bug surfing with IE6 and Mozilla1.4b and from
Mozilla1.4b on a linux client.
This leads me to conclude the bug is isolated to Windows and IIS.
