header location on iis

[Pico_Train]

Hi there,

Everything seems to go fine in my code until the header: location bit.

The server is running iis and am using php.

My code is:

header('Location: /admin/index.php?message=success');
exit();

I get this error:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

I am not 100% certain of this, but I seem to recall PhP redirection headers need to be the first code processed in the document - which means they need to be at the top of the document.

I can tell you that they will work if you encapsulate them in an if statement though.

I'm not very familiar with IIS but perhaps it is because you are not using header() [php.net] correctly. Good practice is to include full host and scheme in the redirection urls. Relative urls are bad practice.

I had exactly the same error (php5 on iis) and managed to fix it by putting the full domain name in the url

Thanks everyone, seems to have sorted itself out and working well now.
