[FX.php List] PHP question...

[Bob Patin]

Gareth,

Thanks for the suggestion, but that doesn't fix the problem that a  
HEADER() won't work in the BODY of a page... tried it, nada...

I guess I just can't make it work. It seems like there *ought* to be a  
way to redirect from within the body of a page, but after searching  
the PHP docs, I can't find anything.

If anyone has a flash of inspiration, please let me know; thanks,

Bob Patin
