php header() at chrome failed

does anyone here got an idea.. what make this message " This webpage has a redirect loop.

The webpage at http://www.example.com/seek has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer."

from the chrome browser.

The header redirection for IE, FF AND SAFARI are working.

define(SITE_URL,"http://www.example.com");     
$cleanData = "search data";
$urlNow = SITE_URL."/quicksearch/".$cleanData;
header("Location: ",$urlNow);

 

*note im using mod_rewrite as

  RewriteRule ^quicksearch/(.*)$ searchResult.php?param=$1 [nc]

 

thanks in advance.!!!

You are passing a second argument to header, you shouldn't be.

header("Location: $urlNow");

i  tried this one.. but got the same result.

 header("Location: $urlNow"); 

I just wondering why is not working at chrome.

To the best of my knowledge Chrome won't forward without sending a status 200 OK with the header location. So do something like:

header("Location: $url", true, 200);

all my header()'s work fine in chrome using only location:. we need to see the code before the header()

this is the code.

this page accept post data

     include("secure/lib/config.php");
     require(CLASS_SRC."class.dataCleaner.php");
     $info = new dataCleaner();

     $cleanData = $info->cleanData($_POST[param]);


     $urlNow = SITE_URL."/quicksearch/".$cleanData;


header("Location: $urlNow");

so there is nothing before the include() and nothing after header()? do you have error_reporting turned on? if not, you can add this at the very top of the script:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", -1);

you should also use exit() after the header, if there is no more processing to do.

I read a bit more and chrome does need the status header. Did you try to use

header("Location: $url", true, 200);

OR

header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");

header("Location: $url");

chrome does not need the status header when I write PHP code.

try it yourself: http://www.blueskyis.com/test.php

chrome is sent to www.cnn.com

It might depend on chrome version too? Because if the location works for IE, FF etc. isn't that a bit suspicious?

Chrome headers are case-sensitive too, location: url will not work where as Location: url works. And there are a lot of people who have had problems with chrome too.

yeah there is nothing more before the include() and after the header().

i will try to take this action.. and return here immediately.

Sending a Location header via header() automatically sends a 302 redirect so adding a 200 OK is not only useless, but makes no sense. A 200 OK status will not redirect.

it might be a lot of things, but i never have any problems using header() on any version of chrome. it is a very standards-compliant browser.

we can hack around all day guessing what the code looks like and try to solve a problem that might be caused by the code that we can't see. or we can look at the code and proceed from there.

i got this version > 8.0.552.224 as a chrome browser.

Have you got error_reporting on as suggested by BlueSkyIS several posts ago?

ok..

im using this settings in .htaccess

 

#Force non-payment page into http format

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\/?(payment) [NC]

RewriteRule .* http://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

 

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =off

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^\/?(payment) [NC]

RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

 

RewriteRule ^quicksearch/(.*)$ searchResult.php?param=$1 [nc]

RewriteRule ^seek$ searchhere.php [nc]

 

the later two lines are the line that coincides to my search feature.

but i want to to show to you the http/https redirection on the upper part because..

everytime i try to make a search and got those message. i am dump on this

url = "https://www.example.com/seek"; considering we got SSL certificate

> no message at all. aside from this message  "This webpage has a redirect loop.

The webpage at https://www.example.com/seek has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer."

Are you set on using php?

I've run into problems a few times while using multiple header() calls and needed a resort.

Try javascript.

window.location = "http://www.google.com/"

you can attach it to a link:

<a href="javascript:window.location = 'http://www.google.com/'">Go</a>

or add this into the header tag and it will redirect automatically:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location = "http://www.google.com/"
//-->
</script>

This should be more universal

yeah i used that already, but js will work after the complete loading of page. and somehow.. we can see some white page before the redirection takes place.

i guess this something to do in mod_rewrite of mine. I will solve this issue and back here later.

Thanks for your wonderful insights. Guys.
