Disable Redirect Loop

Question

Is there any way to disable the Error 310 (Redirect Loop) checking or is there any browser (can be old) that does not have this checking feature?

I need it for a php script i wrote that checks a file with file_get_contents, and it know what file it is by an id i pass to it, then it redirects to the same page with a different id.

Thanks!

Instead of using header("Location: ...");, try this:

die('<script type="text/javascript">location.href = "'.$new_location.'";</script>');

This will circumvent the redirect loop error.

EDIT: Even better:

die('Some progress information here...
     <script type="text/javascript">
          setTimeout(function() {location.href = "'.$new_location.'"},50);
     </script>');

This way you can display some progress information.
