header location newbie

[Neil Phillips]

Hi,

I'm doing a relative URL redirect using this:

<?

header("Location: ../research/index.php?current=34");

?>

which works fine, except it redirects to the .org.uk version of my site
rather than the .org version.

Where does it get this from ?

Cheers, N

thanks Chris, it's just that the muppet that hand coded all of this put
relative URLs everywhere... and I'm not that keen on a big search and
replace.
