It's okay to have if/else statements and other php before you call the header function to go to a new page, but if you have an empty line or space at the top of your document before opening your php tags, the header will fail. Frustrating.
I can't see specifically what's causing your issue in the code you posted. Here's in-depth details to help you troubleshoot:
