Then you have configured your server to always turn on output buffering
or your test script is bad.

Try this:

<?php
header("Location: http://www.php.net");
$fp = fopen("/tmp/log.txt","w");
for($i=0; $i<1000000; $i++) {
$str = "Count $i\n";
echo $str;
fputs($fp, $str);
}
?>

What do you think you will see both on your screen and in /tmp/log.txt?
