[wp-hackers] wp_redirect() fails on Linux

[AJ Chen]

add_action('admin_menu', 'w2x_add_pages');
function w2x_add_pages() {
    // Add submenu under Write:
    add_submenu_page('post.php', 'Write Project Post', '[project]', 8,
'prj',  'w2x_show_prj_post');
}

function w2x_show_prj_post() {
    wp_redirect(get_settings('siteurl') . "/wp-admin/post.php?w2x=prj");
}

wp_redirect() is called from the function for a new submenu item under Write
menu.  Is there any potential problem for such use of wp_redirect()?

The above approach may not be the best one.  Any better idea for  launching
the post editor from the newly added submenu [project]?

The submenu item [project] is actually a link similar to "Write Post"
submenu item, as seen in html source:

	<li><a href='http://localhost/publish/wp-admin/post.php'>Write Post</a></li>

	<li><a href='http://localhost/publish/wp-admin/page-new.php'>Write
Page</a></li>

	<li><a href='http://localhost/publish/wp-admin/post.php?page=prj'
class="current">[project]</a></li>

This means clicking on [project] should launch post editor
without a need to call wp_redirect(), but it does not. Is this a bug?


thanks,
AJ
