That would work, but I think you're probably not approaching the question
properly. Why do you need to redirect the user first, then log the request?
PHP/MySQL are fast enough that logging first and then redirecting will have
no noticeable impact on performance or your user experience. (I'm assuming a
logging process here that's only 1-3 queries.) It sounds like you're trying
to over-optimize, which is always a bad idea as it makes the code harder to
understand later. :-)

exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas
