Veiw source only shows the source of the page it retrieved it does not
request the page again to get it. After header("Location:
etc/etc/etc/example"); you should always use exit(); to stop a script
continuing (although i doubt it is the cause of your problem).

Try posting more code as it will make it easier to see what might be
happening.
