You actually need to put in an exit; if you want to guarantee that PHP won't send more data, and that the browser won't process it and show it before doing the re-direct... *MOST* of the time the Location: header gets processed so fast, you don't see any following data, but if you pound on it enough, you'll see that the browser *can* show the data after the re-direct, if it feels particularly Orange at that moment in time. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
