I'm guessing that the .css file will be used in the traditional way:
> <html>
> <head>
> <title>My Page</title>

> </head>
Now, it's the browser that's fetching the .css file, so the header()
call isn't a problem at all. The browser simply performs a separate
request for that file, so its header() information is sent in response
to that request.
