A simple, ignore the real problem, solution is to turn on output buffering. The real problem is that you probably have output occuring before the validation occurs, which is why you can't redirect. Solving this will prevent the need for output buffering. Another solution is, once you detect an error, to output a javascript redirect. This is probably the dirtiest IMHO.
