PHP Redirection Question

[osecrown]

I am at a bind of how to make
my PHP Redirection to an affiliate
product page work.

This is what I know and have done:

Created a folder called "recommend"

Opened and saved a notepad file in the
"recommend" folder which I named "index.php"

The only content in the "index.php" is

<?php
header("location:http: // www. xxx . com");
exit;
?>




The XXX.com is replaced with my affiliate
link.

I uploaded the "recommend" folder
with the index.php inside. When I access it
from the browser through XXX.com/recommend,
it does not take me to the affiliate page. In short
it does not work.

Please what am I missing out? Is the above code
complete, or there more coding to make it work

Do you get an error message?

You might have some spaces in the wrong places - here's how I'd write it:
[php]<?php
header('Location: http://www.somesite.com/');
exit;
?>

Save that as a plain text file - if you're using Notepad that comes with Windows I highly suggest you stop and get a decent editor like Notepad++

Notepad with Windows can and does place strange random characters on the end of files. Invisible to use but at some times can cause scripts to malfunction.
