Again, this has already been mentioned three (3) times in this
thread alone, just to re-iterate since this thread is all messed
up and overly responded to....

Yes, output buffering is what you would do. I would recommend
programming around using output buffering and if you cant then
rethink your logic.
and on a side note, technically you should also send html with your
header('Location: /url') for browsers that either are unable to
redirect or have automatic re-direction off.
Ok.. now I'm even more guilty of keeping this thing alive. from now
on I am ignoring all messages in this thread :)
