    $_SESSION['LoginID'] = $LoginID;
    if($_SESSION['currentUrl']) {
        header("location: http://".$_SESSION['currentUrl']);
    }
    else {
        if($LoginID==1) {
            header("location:admin/index.php");
        }
        else {
            header("location:dashboard.php");
        }
    }

You need to add the ob_start(); function in the top of the php page, then redirect function will work fine.

Your PHP code must be sending some information to the page before header kicks in. In my case I had some JavaScript code in the body section. Which causes some data (although not immediately visible) causing the location not to work.

Please check your logs for some entry such as:

[Mon Apr 13 13:53:29 2015] [error] [client 192.168.109.109] PHP Warning:  Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/html/xxx.php:208) in /var/www/html/xxx.php on line 565, referer: https://www.acme.com/xxx.php

Shouldn't the l in location: should be L .

header("Location:test.php");

Also use exit() after header() to avoid any problems and stop execution of script as suggested by another poster.

Place a exit() after header("location: test.php");

It sounds like you probably have an error in your PHP, likely a syntax error. From the command line you can run PHP's lint checker to look for errors:

php -l scriptname.php

Alternatively, enabling error_reporting either in php.ini or at runtime in your script might help you figure out what's going on.

If you haven't checked it yet, your webserver's error log may also provide a clue as to what's happening.

Sorry I cant comment until I get my rep up so I gotta post this But your php opening tag might have just a space before it, and that causes the header not to work... so <?php might have a space or something before it...

Check if there is space before your php tag <?php

Check your error_reporting is on or off, if it is off make it on
