I have a file in my server root:
<?php
header("Location: http://www.google.com/", true); //this does not work
//echo "Test"; //this is tested and works.
?>
Is my php.ini file wrong somewhere or why can this be?

Are you seeing any errors (after turning on error reporting)? Could you please define "does not work" – Lix Jul 07 '13 at 10:00

check your logs for errors. is this the whole script or do you generate some output before? – mnagel Jul 07 '13 at 10:03

@dev-null-dweller says `Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/test/test.php:2) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/test/test.php on line 4` – patriques Jul 07 '13 at 10:10

You forgot name of the header:
header("Location: http://example.com");

What in error message? Maybe headers are already sent? Add `ini_set('display_errors',1);` before `header` call. – OZ_ Jul 07 '13 at 10:02

now it says: `Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/test/test.php:2) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/test/test.php on line 4`. Do you know why? – patriques Jul 07 '13 at 10:09
