If you omit the "exit;" call after each redirection header, they will essentially pile up,
each execute, and you will be redirected to the location of the last one . I have noticed this
common mistake among novice programmers. It is important to note that a
header("Location:page") command does stop the rest of the page from processing.
** THE FOLLOWING CODE IS WRONG **
if ($x == 1) {
header("Location: page1.php");
}
header("Location:default.php");
** SHOULD BE: **
if ($x == 1) {
header("Location: page1.php");
exit;
}
header("Location:default.php");
exit;
