I am new to php and I faced this problem while redirecting to other php files. To make my question clear I created two php files. first.php and second.php.Both this files are found in /var/www/test/. This is the code in first.php

<?php
$url = "localhost/test/second.php";
header("Location:$url");   ?>

This is the code in second.php

<?php
echo("this is the second page"); ?>

And when I browse to first.php file I got this in my Firefox browser.

The requested URL /test/localhost/test/second.php was not found on this server.

test/ is added to the header string, which is clear as you can see. Thank you.

The server is appending your parameter to the current working directory. To make it clear to your server, that this is an entirely new URI, prepend your parameter with http://. That way it becomes an absolute URI:

$url = "http://localhost/test/second.php";

If you have problems with localhost not being resolved properly, refer to the questions linked by @gen.
