I thought of that too and I ran a test on my server just to make sure - guess what? it doesn't work either and I am assuming that is because I have it turned off in my php.ini I prefer not to use the ob because I do a lot of development on my server and don't want to wonder if a PHP error got lost in the buffer because the PHP error handling nixed the script before the error was sent to the screen. The question I have is do you need this redirect to sit where it is? It would be so much easier to just write this page correctly.
