Well you can actually,
If you start your script IMMEDIATELY (well before you output anything) with:
<?php
ob_start();
This will buffer output so you can use your header anywhere in your script
eg
header("location.php");
exit;
and then if you weren't redirected then you send the output with
ob_end_flush();

Subject: Re: [PHP] Re-directing
PHP redirects using the header() function, but it's not very useful if
information has already been sent to the browser. ANY information,
including a hard return. So if you have a login script, you would start
your session, register any variables, then redirect.
<?php header("Location: index.php"); ?>
That would do the trick. But like I said, once the parser begins to write
HTML to the browser, then you can no longer send HTTP headers.

Is there a way to redirect to a different script in PHP? I call it
redirecting, but can't find it in the documentation using that track.
I have a script...that if a certain criteria is met, I want to load a
different script. Haven't been able to figure that out yet. I have gotten
about it by conditionally executing a location.href in javascript. It works,
but would like to know how to do it in PHP.
~Thanks.
