Hello,
I am using slim v3 and have a route that looks like this:
```
$slim->post('/forms', function ($request, $response, $args) use ($app) {
// note $app here is not slim
$params = $request->getParsedBody();
$form = $app->getFormRegistry()->addForm($params);
// is true and will run the if block.
if ($form != null) {
// $form[Form::ID] has value of 9 (not "9:")
return $response->withHeader("Location:".api_host."/forms/".$form[Form::ID])
->withStatus(201);
}
return generalError($response);
});
```
When I return my response, the Location header is getting a colon concated to the end of it and I am not sure where it is coming from.
The response headers I get back are
```
Connection →close
Content-Length →14
Content-Type →text/html;charset=UTF-8
Date →Tue, 19 Apr 2016 17:26:40 GMT
Location →http://internal.site/forms/9:
Server →Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS)
X-Powered-By →PHP/5.6.17
```
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The correct use of `withHeader()` is:
```php
$response->withHeader('Location', api_host.'/forms/'.$form[Form::ID]);
```
Just change and it’ll work.

Ah thank you! That makes sense.
