Well - the code works just fine as is and that's all I care about. As for Richard's comments - the url in my header(Location....) statement points to a pdf file, not a php file, so the target is not sending any headers (that I
know of ).

The server will send the appropriate headers for files like that. If you want to see it, try doing a wget or curl and make sure to snag the headers as well (or instead) of the actual file.

For instance:

  curl -O -D headers.txt 'http://wiki.tamaratemple.com/uploads/Main/CoolWebThings/bumping_locks.pdf'

returns headers.txt:

without doing anything special.

(no, i don't advocate going around picking locks. it's just useful info to have...)
