Well... I've got three reasons for that...
1. I never use include() for redirection. It was never meant to be
used for that anyway.
2. If you use include() you're only using up more memory. And I
don't know 'bout you, but I always try to write as efficient as I
can.
3. When you redirect someone, you want them to go to a different
page don't you? Using include() they still stay on the same page.
They only get a different content.
So... using header() instead of include() is more efficient i.m.o.
And besides that; my projects get pretty large. In that case it's
smart to keep your code 'easy-to-track'. If you start including
instead of redirecting it only gets more complex tracking the flow
of the site. And that while include() offers no advantages.
