简单的PHP标头重定向在添加域中不起作用

Question

I am using a very simple header redirect:

<?php header('Location: http://www.example.com'); ?>

I am using this in an add-on domain so the directory structure looks like this:

/home/username/public_html/addondomain.com/goto/directory/redirect.php

It doesn't work when I have it in this directory, but it does work in a different directory in my main account. For example:

/home/username/public_html/recommends/redirect.php

It would seem to be a problem with the directory permissions, but everything seems to be fine. Is this possibly a problem with the add on domain?

This is probably something really simple, but I just can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Barry

I managed to fix this myself using .htaccess. Thanks everyone for your comments.

Here is a sample of the code I used:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>    
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^goto/directory/([/_0-9a-zA-Z-]+)$ link.php?id=directory&id2=$1
</IfModule>

This now calls a php file called link.php which looks up the user information from the MySQL database to complete the link. The link.php file redirects to the newly created link using the header() function. This way I can have unlimited affiliates creating custom links.
