Please help me clear the cobwebs out???

I pretty much use session_start(); at the start of most/all of my PHP
programs and use the $_SESSION array to store control variables. This
technique seems to work quite well and is easily manages.

However, now I've come up to a situation where it's biting me and I need
some other ideas as to how to get around my situation.

In my PHP program I am in a logic block that requires to next page to be
delivered from a different server. If this were a link then I would use
the "href=" tag and when the user clicked on it control would go as
expected.

However, in this case I need control to go seamlessly and automatically. So
I thought I would use the header(location:) function and guess what? It
doesn't work because I have sessions and apparently sessions does something
that causes the headers to be disallowed.

I've evaluated trying to eliminate the sessions but this technique really
works so well and exactly was it is supposed to. So I am thinking that I
cannot be the only one whose come up against this before. Therefore, what
are OTHERS doing to accomplish this requirement (i.e.: using sessions and
still being able to automatically/seamlessly transition to a different
server without additional user input)?

I am most anxious to read what others are doing.


Thanks,

Bob
