the header redirect does not run

The course stated earlier that if anything was outputted before header() that the redirect would not work.

but in the example, there is text echoed before the header() function is executed. so for me locally, this does not work unless i remove everything above header();

I have followed along studiously, but at this point I downloaded the example to see if i had made an error, but the same thing happens.

Can I ask why the example shows code above the header(); function? and it works in the video example? struggling to understand what is happening
