[SOLVED] Is this header behavior normal?

[phpknight]

I have a series of redirect tests so only a logged in user can see certain pages.  I was getting a few odd behaviors from the script.  Then I tested it using something like this:

 

	header("Location: blah");
mail("test@test.com", "you shouldn't be here", "eom");

 

I assumed that once the redirect occurs the PHP page stops executing immediately in mid-script.  Is this false?  Should I really be receiving this email?  If so, when does the execution of the script actually stop?  The redirects are happening correctly, but I would assume I would never get this email at all.

PHP page stops executing only at the end of the script, on the errors occure or you can stop the process by calling die() or exit() command.

So, you are saying that I should go like this:

 

//redirect

exit;

 

Is that what you mean?

Yes, that is what you meant.  Thanks!
