PHP scripts stops

Question

I am working with several different php pages and php scripts.

For example I have the page index.php

The user can click on the link script_page.php?id=415354 on the index.php page, and the script_page.php page will check for the id and using some other scripts to verify access it will forward to employees.php using:

die(header("Location: employees.php"));

Sometimes if I click too fast or click twice, the script_page.php will stop running and never make it to employees.php

What could cause this to be happening or how could I prevent this from happening?

Thank you for your assistance.

I am using IIS7 and PHP5

Not the solution to your problem, but you should change the code to header("Location: employees.php"); die(); the form you use doesn't make sense, as header() won't return a value. — Pekka

When you say "too fast", do you literally mean you click too fast on the script_page.php?id=415354 link?! How do you know script_page.php stops running? Are you sure it's even getting to script_page.php? Is it possible the request is being cancelled? — MrWhite

That's a good question. My browser stops at: www.my-site.com/script_page.php?id=415354. It's a blank page. I am not really sure what is happening. — bjtilley

Try separating those two commands:

header("Location: employees.php");
die();

Thanks poke, I really appreciate your help. I separated the header and die functions. If I click really fast I can get the script_page.php to stop and not execute anything. It only seems to happen in Firefox.
