Description:
------------
I am using PHP5 beta 4 and am experiencing a failure to redirect when using the header() function with the Location HTTP header. I have found that adding a print(" ") line after the header() call results in a successful redirect.

My configuration is:

#!/bin/sh

./configure  \
--prefix=/opt \
--enable-inline-optimization \
--disable-short-tags \
--with-apache-hooks=/opt/httpd/bin/apxs \
--disable-cgi \
--with-sqlite \
--enable-sysvshm \
--enable-sysvsem \
--enable-sysvmsg \
--with-zlib=/usr \
--with-libxml-dir \
--with-gd \
--with-jpeg-dir \
--with-png-dir \
--with-zlib-dir \
--with-ttf \
--with-freetype-dir \
--with-mysql=/usr \
--with-pgsql \
--with-expat-dir=/usr \
--with-xsl \
--enable-exif \
--enable-soap \
--with-xmlrpc

This problem happens whether the .ini setting for output_buffering is On or Off. I have no special settings in my php.ini. 


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

header("Location: http://www.php.net/");

?>

This code fails to redirect.

<?php

header("Location: http://www.php.net/");
print(" ");

?>

This code succesfully redirects


For now, this can be tested at:

http://blog.qoolio.org:82/header_test.php  (w/o print)
http://blog.qoolio.org:82/header_test2.php (w/print)


Expected result:
----------------
Successful HTTP redirect via Location header.



Actual result:
--------------
Failure to redirect.

I downloaded and compiled the latest snapshot (200403110630) and this problem still exists. I also compiled beta 1 and beta 3 as a test and the problem still exists in these versions as well. This is not a problem with the 4.3.x series.

Please try using --with-apxs=/opt/httpd/bin/apxs 
so we'll know if this is purely apache-hooks sapi issue.

I reconfigured with the --with-apxs switch instead of --with-apache-hooks switch and the problem disappears. So it looks like the apache hooks SAPI.

I have experienced the same problem when the header tag was directly after a mysql query.  I had to add a print statement after the header("Location: "); tag.

Hm, Apache 1… Guess this ticket can be closed now.
