You should put the header and exit calls just after you have updated the
session, as in:

<?php
session_start();

// Update session
$_SESSION['foo'] = 'bar';

// Redirect
header("Location: {$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}"),
exit;
?>

Note that the use of a relative path for the Location header might cause
problems, in which case you should apply an absolute URL.
