Unable to redirect in Firefox with PHP

Redirect in FireFox

[sreenushetty]

if ($country == "DE")
{
header("Location: http://www.example.com/change_language.php?lang=de");

} else {

// Otherwise, redirect them to ENG site

header("Location: http://www.example.com/change_language.php?lang=eng");

}

This piece of code is working just fine in IE but not in Firefox, not able to figure out the problem. Could any one help please?
Thanks

Welcome to the forums sreenushetty.

How are you determining the value of

$country

? Are you parsing the Accept-Language header, and what value does your version of Firefox give?

There is a redirect bug in Firefox that may be causing the problem. Google "firefox redirect bug" and you should be able to find the mozilla.org bug report.

Try restarting then running your code on FF right away - if it works, then the FF bug is causing the problem.

Hi Friends,

Thank for your replies.

<< How are you determining the value of $country? >>
$coutry is coming from db, depending on the IP address..
Redirection is happening in firefox but the concerned page is not opening.

I tried surfing for firefox bugs but invain.

If you need complete code, I can provide...

Have you tried explicitly closing the connection once the redirect has been sent?

 if ($country == "DE")
{
header("Location: http://www.example.com/change_language.php?lang=de");
[b]exit;[/b]
} else {
// Otherwise, redirect them to ENG site
header("Location: http://www.example.com/change_language.php?lang=eng");
[b]exit;[/b]
}

Yes I tried but the problem remains the same :-(

Check to ensure you do not have the "RefreshBlocker" extension installed and enabled or the Web Developer Toolbar option under Disable --> Meta Redirects.

On some rare occasions my preferences will collide with my goals. ;) Hope this helps.
