I'd have to agree with Brew. My experience on redirect problems, caused me to write the following function for these kind of redirects. It illustrates exactly what brew was talking about using dirname, etc.

Although technically this function should be modified to pull the http or https from the protocol field.

<? function redirectFile($file) { header("location:http://" .$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . "/$file"); return; } ?>

Hey, thanks for that note brew. I'm not sure, that very well may be true as it appears that Firefox is not having any issues. I'm not sure about IE yet, but it is with Safari that I'm struggling, even though, as I said, it will work indefinitely after I've gone through the welcome area that browsing session.

** If anyone does have any further experiences, or even better, if there is a module that handles what I'm wanting to do more efficiently, please advise.

Thanks!

Well, I'm not going to debug your php (I have enough trouble finding my own bugs!), but one thing I notice:

header('Location:/welcome/index_main_site_entry.php');

seems suspect.

The php docs say:

header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */

and further note:

Note: HTTP/1.1 requires an absolute URI as argument to Location: including the scheme, hostname and absolute path, but some clients accept relative URIs. You can usually use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and dirname() to make an absolute URI from a relative one yourself:

Maybe it's only working some of the time, depending on the clients?
