Re: All Code Executing Even After header() Redirect

Add an exit statement after the header call. But I thought the same thing that after header nothing would be executed. if (!LoggedIn()) { // If not logged in, take to Login page. header("Location: /login.php"); exit(); } I just gave you this soultion to solve your problem, maybe someone else can shed some light why LogAccess() is executed.
