PHP htaccess wrong with URL's

Question

http://localhost/customers/website/jobs/28

When for an example the URL above is visited and my code is used, it goes to: http://localhost/customers/website/jobs/startpage

if(isset($_COOKIE["startpage"])) {

    }else{
        header("Location: startpage");
    }

But if I do header("Location: /startpage"); it becomes http://localhost/startpage

My Htacess is:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /customers/website/

RewriteRule ^startpage/?$    startpage.php    [NC,L]

How can I make it go to http://localhost/customers/website/startpage?

What does your directory structure look like? Where is the .htaccess file located? — Darren

Don't use PHP for this. You can do this in htaccess itself:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /customers/website/

RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !startpage
RewriteRule !^startpage/?$ startpage [L,NC,CO=startpage:1:%{HTTP_HOST},R=302]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} startpage
RewriteRule ^startpage/?$ startpage.php [L]

and remove your header function call from PHP code.

If you will want to do this in PHP itself then use:

if(isset($_COOKIE["startpage"])) {
   //
} else {
   header("Location: " . $_SERVER["BASE"] . "startpage");
}

and keep same rewrite rule shown in question.
