What makes you think PHP "doesn't seem to like this"? What does that mean?

The HTTP specification requires the use of absolute URIs for the Location
header. PHP doesn't enforce this.

A full url is only needed if you are redirecting to another server.
If you are staying on the same server, then you only need to specify
a path. i.e. your code above should be changed to look something
like...

header('Locatio n: /blah.php');

Not so. I use relative just like he did and even specifying relative paths.
It works for me.

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.30

The HTTP standard requires the use of absolute URIs for the Location header.

Most useragents allow non-conformant relative URIs - this does not make it
correct.

Can you be more specific?

sounds like you're confusing CGI headers with HTTP headers.
headers() deals in HTTP, not CGI.

No I'm not confusing them, however I have learned since my post was
made that my answer does rely on the fact that many browsers relax
the standard for the HTTP Location header - so my answer is
technically incorrect for that reason.

The standard states an absolute uri is required for redirection,
but browsers relax this by allowing a relative uri and prepend
the most recently visited server to it.

He just said, "PHP doesn't enforce this." What do you think that means?
