I haven't looked closely at the code in question, but one thought does come
to mind: make sure you are exiting your PHP script immediately after any
location headers are sent, as it will still process the rest of the page
thereafter otherwise. Example:

header('Location: page.php');
exit;

This *could* be the source of your problem, but most likely not. Worth a
mention anyway.
