I did a test code change :

    $thisMachine=getenv("HTTP_HOST");
    $location = "Location:
http://$thisMachine/timekeeper/TimeKeeperForm.php?form=Record";
    echo("$location");
//    header("$location");

The output was: Location:
http://ontario.lakeinfoworks.com/timekeeper/TimeKeeperForm.php?form=Record

I also replaced the echo line with "phpinfo();", but didn't see anything
strange.

This is sure a head-scratcher.

    Sounds like $thismachine is being set either to an empty
    string or to "timekeeper".  So your hostname is probably
    not set properly.

    A phpinfo() call will tell you a lot.
