Links to a auto-forward php file

[manxman]

Learning new methods (Wordpress) can be so frustrating. The following works so easily on a traditional web site done with php. Wordpress is done with php, so why does it not work???

I have a php file (let's call the file 'autoforward.php') that I use to hide a clickbank link.

<?php
header("Location: http://xxxxx.yyyyyy.hop.clickbank.net/");
exit;
?>

Works just fine on my "regular" web sites. Put this on a page in my wordpress in this way :

http://www.my-domain.com/autoforward...utoforward.php

click on it on the finished page and nothing happens !!! (I use the php version as it is server sided so weird configurations of the browser should not get in the way! like it can with html)

Suggestions?

[manxman]

so then I tried this (used buffering)

<?php
ob_start(); //begin buffering the output
header("Location: http://manxman.dpsecrets.hop.clickbank.net/");
ob_flush(); //output the data in the buffer
exit;
?>

and it started working again, even on ones that do not have the buffering code yet.

!!! ??? who said computers are logical?

I use PHP redirects for my clickbank links.

I use:

<?php
header("Location:http://www.myclickbanklink.com");?>

It works fine with static HTML and PHP.
