301 in header doesn't work, return 200 instead

in one opensource project, at almost end of the script , it says

header("Location: $url", 0, 301);exit;

basically, it would work as expected.

but as result, the page doesn't redirect to new page. lookin deeply this response returned 200 instead of 301.

(hacking...searching.....)

in some place before the one above, there is

header('Status: 200 OK');

so this one stops later 301. But why 301 doesnt overwrite 200.... check the doc it says it will replace similar XXX. so after replacing "header("Location: $url", 0, 301);" with

header("Location: $url");
header('Status: 301 Moved Permanently');

it works fine.

///////////////////////////////

in some cases, it needs to determine if it's cgi or not

else if (SAPI_NAME == 'cgi' OR SAPI_NAME == 'cgi-fcgi')
{
header("Location: $url");
// Call the status header after Location so we are sure to wipe out the 302 header sent by PHP
header('Status: 301 Moved Permanently');
}
else
{
header("Location: $url");
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
}

cgi gives greater security, it runs under certain user's privilege, but slow (for shared server);
module is faster but runs under the same permission of web server.

symfony 1.2 propel-build-model Bus error

run 'symfony propel-build-model' ends with 'Bus error'

if it doesnt complain your libs, you can go to your scheme.yml file.

i found this is cause by one field type in db with defual value:

i have a column called 'created_at' of type: timestamp with default value 'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP'. this is on mysql level. well enough!

run 'propel-build-schema'

you will get

created_at: { type: TIMESTAMP, required: true, defaultValue: CURRENT_TIMESTAMP }

then, run 'propel-build-model', you would get 'Bus error'

propel generator might not know 'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP'. after removing this from scheme.yml, you can run that script smoothly.

good luck. everytime when you get problems, just look back. the BACK at this moment is so called 'experience'.
