So, what is checkLength() ? It isn't defined in the code you posted, it
isn't a built-in PHP function, you haven't included any other source,
so I wonder if you posted the actual code you are having problems with.

And you are sure that php is executed? if you look at the source code, not
just the browser window, what do you see? To me it would seem at first that
php is not executed and the browser simply displays what it can make of the
raw php source code.

Maybe short tags is turned off. Try using

<?php

at the start instead.

The header won't work because the code sends output before setting the
header. (Headers must be set before any outpyt, and the doctype is the first
output you send. On the other hand, it doesn't give you error of headers
already been sent therefore I submit that your php code is never executed
for one reason or another. Like I already said once, check the SOURCE CODE
when you view the result in the browser - I bet that you see the original
php code as it is.

PLEASE confirm that (1) the document has a .php extension, and (2) you
are requesting it from a PHP enabled web server.

I mean, clueless is one thing but...

Oh! the Doctype counts. I did not see that anywhere. (thanks Kimmo)

also, the file is called index.html. I would like to keep that. Is
there a place that spells out the rules for when it is ok to have
xx.html and when I need to use xxx.php? It seems like the code is just
not executing. What else do I need to make sure of?

I am using PHP Version 4.4.0.

That explains it.

You either need to use a .php extension, or you need to change your
Apache configuration to parse .html files as php code. But that will
cause ALL .html files to be parsed, whether they contain php code or not.

hmmm, that's why I asked about the 'rules'. Because I have had
snippets of PHP inline in the files so far, and it works. That's
confusing.

Perhaps the first chars of the file determine whether HTML or PHP
extension is needed? Where is this documented?

Nope. It's the file extension that Apache or IIS use to determine
whether the file is to be parsed as php, asp or whatever.

try inserting a space between Location: and http

also, your header call should come before any HTML or a blank line is
displayed. your <?php with the header call should be at the tippy top of
the file.
once the broswer sees a blank line or HTML, that's it - headers are over.
