Am I using header function incorrectly?

[Hantti]

Hi!

I'm using this header('Location:index.php'); to get my page reload after user press the submit button.

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
                                    
   $comment = $_POST['comment'];
   $writer = $_POST['writer'];                                   
   $date_and_time = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
                                    
   mysql_query("INSERT INTO comment (writer, comment, date_and_time)
                      VALUES ('$writer', '$comment', '$date_and_time')")
                    or die(mysql_error());
                                    
   header('Location:index.php');
                                    
} 

It's working like a charm, but if you take a look at the PHP manual there is: "Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent, either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP".

So am I doing something very wrong or not ?

no you are doing all fair as there is no output before header(); function at all.
