Php could not redirect to certain pages

Question

The following is my redirect function

function redirect_to($page = NULL) {
    if ($page != NULL) {
           header("page: {$page}");
           exit;
    }
 }

now the problem is when I call this function it does not work on some pages... Why ?

Thank you

Using the following will make the redirect work:

header("Location: {$page}");

Because Page: is not a valid HTTP header and gets ignored by browsers.

OK. But still its not working on some pages... It keeps redirecting to the same page over and over. – Nabstar Dec 23 '15 at 23:55

Then you most probably redirect to the same page, or you have wrong caching setup which leads to a cached response... – bbonev Dec 23 '15 at 23:57
No... Redirecting to a different page. – Nabstar Dec 24 '15 at 00:36
