header location not working in most places...

I've been looking into this on my site:

Only registered users can see links on this board!

Polls: The Poll Results use a header location redirect and never completes. Firefox, IExplorer both yield same result. My members all say the same (e.g., it's not my ISP, firewall if it happens to all.

Banners:

Banners don't open.. banners.php has very simple code for op = click. Header location again. New window opens: Firefox timesout and tries to open localhost, IExplorer just dies.

Wondering what can be the issue... I don't see this as a particult PHP Nuke version issue, as banners.php and poll results code hasn't changed.

Also, when I run local version with Apache/MySQL I have no issues with re-directs...only on hosted site (sorry Gaylen!)

Actually, are you on the latest 3.2b/3.3 patches from Chat? I had these fix a couple of other things.

Oohh...good call, but now I can't seem to find them.

nukeresources.com gone?

Well, I found 3.2 for my 7.9...fixed the Poll/Survey redirect, but did nothing to the banners issue.

All my banners error out like the Polls used to. Anyone want to click on my banners at the bottom of my main page?

Try something here. Either comment out NukeSentinel in mainfile.php, or turn it off temporarily (depends on your NS version) and quickly check to see if it works. I want to rule out the extra NSNST_FLOOD session id that is being tagged onto the end of the link.

If that works, you may want to consider upgrading to NS 2.5.02, which I think no longer appends that to the URL string (not certain, but an educated guess).

Thanks, but it's definitely not NS.

NS doesn't consistently append the Flood URL, so I've seen clean/clear URLs.

Note: All my banners go through LinkShare which resolves to LinkSynergy, but they are indicating no problems, and when I run a local version of my site, my clicks open fine into the banner sites.

Since all the banners execute index.php op = click here is my code...perhaps it's something there?

====

if (isset($op) AND ($op == "ad_click") AND isset($bid)) {
$bid = intval($bid);
$sql = "SELECT clickurl FROM ".$prefix."_banner WHERE bid='$bid'";
$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
list($clickurl) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);
$clickurl = filter($clickurl, "nohtml");
$db->sql_query("UPDATE ".$prefix."_banner SET clicks=clicks+1 WHERE bid='$bid'");
update_points(21);
Header("Location: ".addslashes($clickurl));
die();
}
