PHP header() usage and why it isn't redirecting

Question

I am trying to do a simple logout page where it destroys the user session and then redirects them to the home page.... not sure why this isn't working. Here is the whole file.

<?php
session_destroy();
header('location: http://example.com');
?>

Probably you have ?> <?php statement in your code

A simple soloution is Adding ob_start(); at the top of your code and ob_end(); at bottom
