you can't send headers after you've started output - http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php — Rob G, Mar 03 '16 at 22:11

For a redirect to work in PHP, you have to stop execution directly after with exit():

 header('Location: test2.php');
 exit();

Additionally, as pointed out in the comments if any text is being echoed to the page prior to the redirect, the headers will fail to be sent.
