php header redirect modifying the URL

Hello Experts,

I have the following code:

<?
header('Location:http://www.abc.com') ;
exit;
?>

Open in new window

However, when I access this script, this redirects to:

http//www.abc.com

ie it is missing off the ":"

Any ideas why this is occurring?

Thanks!

Ray Paseur

Is there any more to the code, or is that the complete script?

Please post the URL that illustrates the behavior, thanks.

I am unable to reproduce the behavior with this script.

<?php // RAY_temp_jagku.php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
header('Location:http://www.abc.com');
exit;

Open in new window

Thanks Ray,

I literally have those 2 lines of text.
I added error_reporting(E_ALL); but nothing appears on the screen and the browser is still trying to redirect to http://www.abc.com

I am using Firefox.

Thanks

Thanks for the above suggestions.
I will try them all out later on tomorrow.

Note: www.abc.com is just an example. It happens to any domain.
I'll post what has cracked the problem.

Thanks!
