Not really, you're trying to use a server-side function with a client-side script. — Qirel, Mar 06 '16 at 21:03
Instead of `` you can use JavaScript-redirection, `window.location = "/index.php";` — Qirel, Mar 06 '16 at 21:04

You're mixing server-side and client-side functionality which makes it very confusing and it's not behaving the way you want it to.

Your header will be sent out by PHP from your server no matter what you do client-side. Use a JavaScript redirect instead to handle it client-side.

hey You cann't use php in javascript like this. You can only use php in javascript , when you need a value. Because php will not execute after loading the page through javascript.

for example:

<script>
 var x="<?php echo $x; ?>";

</script>

but in your case , for redirection you can use

window.location="http://example.com/"
