I’m trying to create a loop, which redirects to another script when the condition is met. But at the moment, it meets the condition, ends the loop, but doesn’t redirect to the script. Nothing I have done works…
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
define('INCLUDE_CHECK',true);
require '../config/connection.php';
session_name('ppRemember');
session_set_cookie_params(86400);
session_start();
//get value from database. if is pending then display loading else display summary. if is complete but no session set say session has expired
if (isset($_SESSION['txnId'])) {
if ($_SESSION['txnId']==true) {
header('Location: ../confirmation');
die();
}
}
?>

Any headway is greatly appreciated. I’ve tried a do while loop, header without die/exit. I’ve removed all code and redirected the page on it’s own, ran the script and all is fine. Etc, etc. I echo’d something to make sure that the condition is finally met, as well.
Following your edit, the solution here is actually quite simple – all you need to do is move the redirect code to the top of the page:
