Rediredt (Rewrite) not working

I can't get a redirect using the PHP Header command to work on Windows 7 Pro X64 with Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3.3.

Code worked fine with the old version of Apache and PHP but I can't figure out why it is not working now. I'm not getting a PHP error and the PHP header command does get processed but no redirection occurs (I verified this by writing to a log file after the header command was issued).

Thinking it must be the new Apache (I was using Apache/1.3.27 (Win32) PHP/4.3.9)

I changed AllowOverride from None to All
I added AccessFileName dot.htaccess (Windows does not like .htaccess) and put RewriteEngine on in it.

Any help greatly appreciated.

This looks to be a PHP problem (I think) As I was able to set up a simple test:

test.html:
<?php
ob_start();
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
header("Location: ob_end_flush();
exit;
?>
</body>
</html>

ReDirWorks.html:
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
"Redirect worked!";
</body>
</html>

When I enter test.html in the URL, I get successfully redirected to ReDirWorks.html, so it's not an Apache problem. I'll post in one of the PHP forums and see if I can get some help there.

Found it. The PHP flush() command now flushes the buffered data from ob_start which it did not do in the previous version of PHP.
