To each their own. :) It just doesn't make sense. If you're going to
redirect, you don't need to show any output (server side redirect, of
course).
For your case, I'd move the conditions that didn't need the header to
the beginning of the select and have a case TRUE that output the header
to the other cases below it...
<?php
include('includefile.php');
switch($_GET['page'])
{
case 'redirect':
//redirect here
break;
case 'redirect2':
//second redirect
break;
case TRUE: outputheader();
case 'page1':
//output page 1
break;
case 'page2':
//output page 2
break;
}
outputfooter();
?>
