It's hard to say much without being able to see the relavent portions
from your index.php file, but usually, you have to do something like
header('Location: '.$_GET['redirect']) and then exit shortly there
after. $_GET['redirect'] should, of course, be checked against a white
list, or at the very least, for characters like "\r" and "\n", to
protect against http response splitting.
