header("Location: page.php") not redirecting

Hi all, I have this in a template: $redirect = "viewclient.php?id={$_REQUEST['id']}&foo=bar"; header("Location: $redirect"); Only, nothing happens when this code is executed. Nothing. It gets completely ignored. I even tried: $redirect = "viewclient.php?id={$_REQUEST['id']}&foo=bar"; echo $redirect; header("Location: $redirect"); to try and throw an error, but all that happens is the value of $redirect gets sent to the screen and then rest of the page is displayed. I know the code block is getting executed, but I have no idea WHY the header() function is not doing its job. Any thoughts? Please CC me on the post since I am on the digest. Thanks
