The client should receive the entire document that your script sends
after it finishes outputting the headers. According to the HTML
specification that should be a document that tells the user about the
redirect (for user agents which don't support 302 (which aren't very
common)). Most user agents hide this from the user.

HTTP redirects do not break the back button.
