1) Enable error reporting 2) debug your code so you can isolate the problem part 3) plz is not a word 4) Indent your code properly 5) ........... — PeeHaa, Sep 06 '13 at 17:54
The file itself is a response. A redirect is a response. You can only have one response per request. Either the redirect needs to happen client-side or the UX needs to change to not require it. — David, Sep 06 '13 at 17:58

There is no way to check this; there is no event like ondownloadready. But there are some work-arounds... Check this [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2343418/browser-event-when-downloaded-file-is-saved-to-disk] question on stackoverflow.] — Martin, Sep 06 '13 at 18:08

I don't see anything in your code that performs a page redirect.

To perform a very simple page redirect, put this at the end of your process:

header("Location: index.php");

This will throw an error after content (such as the entire file) has been sent. Headers need to be modified before a response is sent, not after. – David Sep 06 '13 at 17:59
