or die problem

[Anon]

hike,
i've juzst written a small code that should create a dir and if that fails it should load another page:

$data=mkdir($userdir,0700) or die (header("Location: failed.php3"));

however, although i've () the or die stuff i get an error that the header information is already sent and cannot be sent again with or die...

hiw can i redirect to the page if the mkdir fails using or die?

plz help

Header may only be called if NO output has been made to the page. Remove all output before the mkdir().
