She bought something that can retrieve to code from the .swf, but is having
problems.

This is exactly what I did, but calling it test1.htnl simply did not do
anything. Remember that the intention is to replace a page that is
currently pointed to as something.html with this redirecting file which will
be called something.php and will be the modified original something.html so
that it includes the new php stuff. Apparantly for the header statement to
work it has to be in a .php file. Inside a .html file simply did not work.
