I have this code

```php
if (is_null($_POST['name']) == TRUE) {
header("Location: http://www.martystudio.com/index.php?error=101&from=home");
}
print $name;

```

it works fine, but when iit is supposed to redirect it wont, i need to find out why and find the script that works:

Note, for some reason the link looks funny when im posting

Are you using GET or POST to post your variables?

The code is working fine…

you might be wanting to use output buffering too when redirecting.  
ob\_start()  
ob\_end\_clean()  
ob\_end\_flush()

that is so you wont be getting any errors about headers already sent
