PHP header [removed] - what are the implications?

Question

I have domain.com. If the user is logged in, it should load automatically domain.com/option-X where X is a predefined choice of the user.

Answer 1

Make sure you die() after your redirection, and make sure you do your redirect AS SOON AS POSSIBLE while your script executes. It makes sure that no more database queries (if some) are not wasted for nothing. That's the one tip I can give you

For search engines, 301 is the best response code
