PHP header() redirects won't work with relative URLs; they will only work with the whole thing (i.e. with the "http://yourwebsite.com/"). Here's how you would do this:

<?php
$host  = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$uri  = rtrim(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '/\\');
header("Location: http://$host$uri/install/install.php");
exit;
?>

(I got this from a PHP manual page and modified it slightly)

They do for me, and anything I try dosnt wirk, echo, die, i have tried it all:eek4:

It isnt the header, thats all i know.

you could try

<?php
function goToUrl($ref, $url){
    if ($url == ''){
        $url = 'index.php';
    }
    header ( "refresh: $ref; url=".str_replace('&amp;', '&', $url) ) ;
}
?>

i made it to redirect and it works fine

or try:

<?php
header('Location: '.str_replace('&amp;', '&', 'http://www.example.com/?do=1&go'));
?>

The redirect is fine

its that file_exists thing

[dharmil]

try
file_exists('/config.php')

Do you get an error at all, or does it just not return true/false like it "should?"
