    Login lgout and login without closing session gives redirection error

    Hello!

    I am stepping through a text book that sets up different websites. The
    one I am testing is user registration.

    I set up the scripts and this is what I observe:

    Login (verifying against a mysql db) - no problem.
    Logout - no problem.

    Close the browser and try again - no problem.

    Login > Logout > Login WITHOUT closing browser I get:

    An error occurred while loading http://login.php when it should redirect
    me to http://localhost/index.php.

    I read somewhere on the news group that the
    header("Locatio n: http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname
    ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . "/index.php") (in my example code) is called
    once and so the error?

    The logout.php destroys the $_SESSION variables, session itself and any
    cookies so I thought it would be "like new" the second time around?

    It appears to be linked to sessions but don't know enough to know how to
    correct.

    Please help,

    Thank you,
    Peter Brown
