Header location redirect makes PHP command execute twice

I have a script that processes payments from a payment provider, and then uses a PHP redirect to show a "thank you" page.

Source: (Websend.php include source is here: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=TmmysJiD)

include_once 'Websend.php';
if ($file != "GREAT") {
    header("Location: ../failed.html");
    exit();
} else {
    $ws = new Websend("192.168.56.105");
    $ws->connect("passwd");
    $ws->doCommandAsConsole("give " . $token . " 2000");
    $ws->disconnect();
    header('Location: ../success.html');
    exit();
}

Source of success.html

<head>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://site.com/index.html"> 
</head>
<script type="text/javascript">
    alert("Some alert");
</script>

However header("Location: ../success.html"); is causing the command to run twice (and give the user the amount twice, which should not happen. When I remove header("Location: ../success.html"); the code works as it should be.

Why does this happen?

This is refreshing success.html

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://site.com/index.html">

EDITED

have you tried removing <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://site.com/index.html">? Also try changing header('Location: ../success.html'); to header('Location: ../index.html');
