Apache 1.3.12


I wrote a script that redirects a person to a different page based on the REQUEST_URI and HTTP_HOST apache variables.  Ever since PHP 4.0.2, Internet Explorer started reporting 404 errors instead of going to the appropriate page.  What is even more mysterious is that it is the IE 404 error page, not the server wide page nor the default 404 error page for the site.  To top it all off, it works for Opera as well as Netscape.  I think this must be caused by the way PHP handles headers and the way IE interprets them, because I can put PHP version 4.0.1pl2 on and it will work great even with IE, then any versions afterwards cause an error.  An example page is at http://test.jwdx.com I have also added header("Status: 404 Not Found") as stated in other bug reports.  I would not blame this on PHP except for the fact that different versions respond differently with all other circumstances remaining the same.

No, lynx reports a 404 error also.

Adding to this, lynx reports a 404 then continues to load the correct page.  I guess lynx reports a 404 if the file is not found then proceeds to the page specified for that error.

If this were the case, then why does it react differently with PHP version 4.0.1pl2 and 4.0.2?

No response?

To make this more understandable (people emailed me with questions which weren't posted in the report).  This scenario does work on lynx and it can not be a browser or apache server error because it works perfectly with 4.0.1pl2 and earlier.  Are there any modifications I can make in the php sources before compiling to meet my need if you would prefer to not modify the current php source on this feature?

Without seeing any code it's impossible to know what's
wrong. And WHAT doesn't work? What SHOULD happen? What
happens instead?  

Please try the latest release candidate:

Bug resolved by adding header("HTTP/1.0 200 Success"); to the top of the script.
