What"s wrong with header = ("location: pagename.php") ?

I'm sorry if this turns out to be a double post but I got an error
during the first attempt.

I'm perplexed at the error in the header = ('location: index.php'); I
have used this before successfully but this time the syntax checker at
http://www.meandeviation.com/tutorials/learnphp/php-syntax-c heck/
issues this message: Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=' in
quickform.php on line 48.
48: header = ('location: index.php');

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

That should read:
header('location: index.php');

The error message was quite explicit!

just write
header ('location: index.php');
instead of
header = ('location: index.php');

header is a function not a variable. dont get confused with the
$headers variable you used. They are tottally different.

Actually it should be:
header ('Location: http://www.example.com/index.php');

Allthough by the grace of UA's they normally use the current domain, thi=

is not in the specs.

Actually it should be a 307 redirect (which needs to be explicitly
set)- not a 302 (default for Location: header).

I've never had a problem using the header location tag.
On what kind of setup is that 307 HTTP error required?

It's a temporary redirect, while the 302 is rather unspecific. The 307
indicates that the target of the redirection might change or that the
entire redirect will be removed one day. But this is not the case here,
so I think the 302 is fine.
