Can an include have a redirect?

 

Basically my if statement in my include has "if fail redirect to fail.php"

 

but its not working. when the the fail occurs my code wont redirect me to a different page.

Indeed it can. Remember however, that you cannot call the header function once any output has been sent to the browser.

<?php

if($fail) {
    header("Location: http://google.com");

    include("redirect_to_google.php");
}

// continue processing
$a = $b + $c;

?>
