note 64189 added to function.header

When doing a simple redirect using header, i.e.: header("Location: login.php"); you may want to place a command to terminate your script following this, like exit: header("Location: login.php"); exit(); Otherwise, you may find, unexpectedly, that your script following the redirect continues execution. Not sure if this is expected behavior, but regardless, in the case of, for instance, a redirect to a login page when a user is not logged in, that's definitely something you'll want to add to prevent "secured" code from running. ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 71.83.190.228 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/64189 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64189/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64189/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64189/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64189/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64189/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64189/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64189 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/64189 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
