I was curious to know if i could do this, but found no examples on line

$info_find = mysql_query("SELECT info FROM sets WHERE category = '$selected_cat'")  
or die( header ("location: index.php"));

Firstly doing it as above doesn’t work. Can it be done?
Are there any drawbacks?

    die() just writes its parameter out, it doesn’t execute it. So a “or die()” construct will not help you there.

    You can consider something like

    or die(createRedirect("index.php"));

    with

    function createRedirect($where) {
  $s='<html><head>';
  $s.='<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; url='.$where.'">';
  $s.='</head><body>If you are not automatically redirected click <a href="'.$where.'">here</a>';
  $s.='</body></html>';
  return $s;
}

    if you are willing to accept the downsides of client-sided redirection
