No...
header() must be used *before* all script *output*. You can do as much
PHP processing as you like, as long as nothing is output before header()
is used, e.g. echo(), print(), characters outside <?php...?>.
I'm sure this is what it pretty much said in any of the references that
Philip (rather unsubtly) pointed you toward... ;)
