You need to step back and do some debugging. I assume you just made a mistake
in your email, but you mentioned this not working:
http://www.routerbitworld.com/index.php?pagename=checkout
Now, if this is what your Location header is assigned to, you will send the
browser on an endless journey to find the resource it wants:
1. if ($pagename=="login" || $pagename=="signup" || $pagename=="checkout")
OK, yes it does (assuming register_globals is on). Let's go to the next step:
2. if (!$HTTPS)
Assuming this works as you expect, this conditional is still true, because you
used http in your URL. So, we continue:
3. Redirect to http://www.routerbitworld.com/index.php?pagename=checkout
Rinse. Repeat.
That would definitely be a problem.
Before I make any other guesses, try this (I always suggest this same thing):
For eac:
header('Location: http://example.org/');
Change this to:
echo 'Location: http://example.org';
Meaning, echo where you're trying to redirect rather than sending the header.
This way you can follow what's going on on the screen.
Hope that helps.
