Why does the execution continue after redirection using header() ? $flag=1; if($flag==1) header("Location:page1.php"); header("Location:page2.php");

Why does the execution continue after redirection using header()?

  $flag=1;

  if($flag==1)
      header("Location:page1.php");

  header("Location:page2.php");

When I use this code the browser redirects to page2.php.
Why does this happen?

    You need to put an exit; after the header call; PHP does not automatically stop executing code after the client stops loading the page.
