That's the correct call, but you need to ensure that the output stream has not yet
been "committed". What that really means is that you want to make sure you have
declared a buffer large enough to hold all of the output above this statement in
the page. Once the output buffer has been flushed the first time, all of the HTTP
headers have already been sent (they go first), so any later attempt to set a
header will be ignored.
