If you have already sent output to the browser, then you won't be able to use the PHP header() command to redirect the browser.
There are a couple of ways around this, though; look into the META tag in HTML, or you can use JavaScript to redirect the browser.
If what you want to do is send all users to the same original page, but then send certain users to another page if the "if" condition is met, then use PHP to generate the META tag...
if (condition) {
print("<meta-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"15\"; URL=\"http://my.page.com\">");
}
I've done that before. It's a pretty useful feature.
