[Resolved] new problem: redirection fails

My logout class method fails now due to lack of redirection. I realize that header() fails if there is HTML before it (which I checked using headers_sent() which came back false) but it actually should stop immeidately after the header(), yet it does not.

Can someone tell me how to ensure that all processing stops immediately after a header() to ensure server-side redirection?

Thanx

Just die() again. But, you can't redirect to a link. You must specify just the full URI.

header("Location: foo.php");
exit;

I got it:

	/**
	 * Logout
	 * 
	 * @access public
	 * @return mixed HTML (returns HTML only if header() fails)
	 */
	function &logout() {									// STATIC VOID OR HTML STRING METHOD
		global $projectFolderName, $projectURLPath, $willAuthenticate, $projectAcronym;
		if ($willAuthenticate) setcookie("$projectFolderName", '', time() - 86400, '/');							// DELETE COOKIE
		foreach ($_SESSION as $key => $val) {
		 if (preg_match("/^{$projectAcronym}_/i", $key)) {
		  $_SESSION[$key] = '';
		  unset($_SESSION[$key]); 						// DELETE ALL PROJECT SESSION VARIABLES
		 }
		}
		global $_SESSION;
		header('Pragma: no-cache');
		header('Location: [url]http://[/url]' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . "$projectURLPath/index.php");			// DEFAULT REDIRECT TO MAIN PAGE
	}
