Not to mention, the header() statement is being used incorrectly in the
example code.
You don't echo out the header() statement. You simply use it.
For example...
<?php
include("whateveryouwant.inc");//as long as the .inc does not output
to browser
...BUNCHA' PHP STUFF, BUT NO ECHO STATEMENTS...
header("Location:www.example.com");
?>
In your sample code, you include("mainmenu.php") which looks like it would
output to the browser. You can't to that on the same page you use header().
