Jason,
I checked the book "Professional PHP Programming" and
refer to how they use header():
if (!authenticateUser($cookie_user, $cookie_passwd)) {
header("Location:http://$HTTP_HOST/$DOCROOT/default.htm");
exit();
}
what difference does that make if I do this instead:
if (...) {
include "http://$HTTP_HOST/$DCROOT/default.htm");
exit();
}
I guess my question is really this: header is used here to redirect user to
other pages, but is it equivalent of doing this using include in this case?

You may wish you verify a user's form input, and redirect them to an
error page if it is not filled in properly. Or you may want to redirect
on, say, a checkout page if you can't find a session identifier.
