Sending information to the browser (including an echo statement), and then setting a header will always result in a warning and not actually set that header. If you pop back to the video starting at 4:22, Alena explains this. Essentially, sending anything to the browser will automatically set the header for that response, and you can't set the header twice. From the video:
Remember, we need to make sure that we don't send anything to the browser before the redirect. Even a blank line at the beginning of the file is a header response, and will cause the redirect to fail.
Hope that clears things up!
Cheers
-Greg
