Die works after header?

Question

PHP

header('Location: ...');
die();

Will die work in this case?

Answer 1

It will work, of course. Sending headers does not interrupt script execution. The user just won't see it. Therefore, it is recommended that after sending the redirect, be sure to die and complete the script with the exit / die function so that the underlying code is not executed in vain (if you do not want to continue the script without the user).

Answer 2

And let's think! You press, say, a button, you are thrown to another page and you think you will see your message? No, you won't see it, the code works from top to bottom
