IE php header() error for program protocol

[m002.p]

Hi everyone,

I am having an interesting issue which is only apparent in IE and works in FireFox.

I have a form that depending on the submitted data with PHP either launches a link or does not.

The issue lies with the following:

PHP Code:

<?php

if ($form == 'true')
{
          header("Location: xfire:join?game={$g}&server={$s}:{$data_s['joinport']}&password={$pw}");
    exit();
}
else
{
         echo "error";
}

Obviously this link launches the xfire application and for some reason gives an IE error page



Any ideas? The header works ok with a normal http:// link but not with the xfire: protocol.

Thanks for your help in advance

Matt
