user redirect on authentication

[droidus]

I am trying to log in a user if they have the right login credentials.

login.php:

function(data){  
        				var error = (data == 'true') ? '' : '<img src="images/red_x.png" width="24" height="24" /> Please fill in all fields.';

						$('#errorLogin').html(error);
						
						var success = (data == true) ? 't' : 'f';

						if(success=='f') {
							// fade back in the login screen
							$('#loginContainer').fadeIn("slow");
							// continue anyway for now...
							$.get
    						(
    							"loginUser.php",
    							{ 
        							username: $("#username").val(), password: $("#password").val(), rememberMe: $("#rememberMe").val(), login: ('true')
        						},
								function(data){  
        							var fail = (data!='') ? data : 'Unknown Error... Please contact us for more details!';
									alert(data);

									$('#errorLogin').html(fail);
								}
							)
						}

then loginUser.php:

							memberRedirect($username, $rememberMe, $password);

and finally, in my function.php file:

header( 'Location: members.php' ) ;

so it should be redirecting. in my member redirect page, i have code that updates with the date that the user logged in. it seems ot be updating, but whenever i try to login, it never redirects me. is this since it's a function, and it HAS to return?

Might get a better response if you post this in a server-side and/or PHP forum.
