PHP Header Login Page Location

[simpjd]

I'm making a web page that has restricted access via a login script.

 

If the user is not logged in I use "header("Location: http://www.example.com");" to redirect the user to another "safe" page.

 

My question is, is this safe? Can the user somehow stop or bypass the header and view the page without logging in for the client side?

 

I would appreciate any help.

Safe enough.

Put an exit after it in order to make sure that nothing gets loaded.

 

header("Location: http://www.example.com");

exit;
