Question about redirection using PHP on IIS

[fartsniff]

Hello all.
Win2k server, PHP 4.2.3, PHPNuke 6.0, IIS.

This code works great for redirecting the user:
$redirect = getenv("HTTP_HOST");

if ($redirect=="something.mydomain.com"){
header("Location:http://www.mydomain.com/modules.php?name=something");
}

However, if I try this:
if ($redirect==www.mydomain.com/something){
header("Location:http://www.mydomain.com/modules.php?name=something");
}

it generates 1) a 404 error, and 2) something about a TRANSLATE verb in my
URLScan log.
Does anyone know which IIS "verb" handles this ? I cannot find anything on
TRANSLATE,
and PHP is configured in IIS to accept/handle ALL verbs.

Many thanks.

In the second example you forgot the quotes around
www.mydomain.com/something, so you got a php syntax error which probably
resulted in no output hence the 404 error.

thanks - that was my fault in a hasty copy/paste.
in there "real" code they quotes are there, and i still
get the error.

i am still looking thru my logs for the exact error.
