php script don't refreshes in browser

I have the following php code:

<?php session_start();
....
$result=$db->query($query);
$row=$result->fetch_assoc();
$_SESSION['id']=$row['id'];
header('Location: http://www.blabla.com/successLoginPage.php');

php code on: successLoginPage.php

<?php session_start();
echo $_SESSION['id'];

Here is problem. When i do all things, i see nothing in successLoginPage.php, after approximately 10 minutes i refresh the page and see correct variable. I tried to clear the cache, ctrl+f5, shutdown the browser and computer, but nothing changes - still need to wait 10 minutes. This problem is exists in chrome and ie8.

How can i solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

*Edit 1:

I add logout.php page with the following code: session_start();session_destroy();unset($_SESSION); When i log in successfully and receive the proper echo, i push logout link and then log in using another account - all great. 1st question - can i log in via 1st account for the 1st time and via 2nd account for the 2nd time? Is this ok? 2nd question - when i failed to log in, there again i see freeze. If i try to log in with proper account after this, i will see old information about fail login. What i need to do?

Solved the problem. I deleted all login files and rewrite it from scratch and all seems to work now. Don't know where bug was.

First of all, you are not showing the entire code and in this case it is very important.

<?php session_start();
....
$result=$db->query($query);
$row=$result->fetch_assoc();
$_SESSION['id']=$row['id'];
header('Location: http://www.blabla.com/successLoginPage.php');
// Mystery ???

When you are calling header('Location: xxx'), it doesn't stop the script, so everything after your header is executed.

You could add the function die to prevent any other code to execute after the redirection.

<?php session_start();
....
$result=$db->query($query);
$row=$result->fetch_assoc();
$_SESSION['id']=$row['id'];
header('Location: http://www.blabla.com/successLoginPage.php');
die(); // No more code executed after this //

It may be somewhat obvious but... is $row['id'] actually a number/string, not NULL? :p You could try

var_dump($_SESSION['id']);

instead of

echo $_SESSION['id'];

Have you tried session_write_close(); after setting your session variable?
