Hello php-generaler's ,

  I have a script like this :

  if($foo == 'something'){
          header('Location:to_another_page.php') ;
  }else
  {
       do another thing in here
  }
  header('Location:to_previous_page.php');

  I got a problem ... when $foo == 'something' .. it wont redirect me
  to to_another_page.php .... but if I put die(); after calling
  header(); .. it will work ...
  is this the bug ?

  I use php 4.3.4 ... and Apache 2.x

  thanks
Another thing you need to know, header checks if the same header was 
output before, if yes, it is owerwriten by the second one. So if you write:

header('Location: foo.php');
header('Location: bar.php');
only one header is output.

You can pass false as the second parameter to header (replace 
parameter), in this case both headers are output.
