PHP header not working in a script

I'm having to use a meta refresh in a script because the Location header stuff isn't working.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

Almost always caused by either:

- Use of include() or require() before the header() call is made.

- Use of something like session_start() before the header.

- Something else echoing.

This is assuming you're getting the "Can not modify headers, sent at line xxxx".

If it's doing something else then we need to know exactly what's going on?
