By your description of what you think should be happening in the line 
above, my suggestion to would be to look at the header() function in 
PHP.  It can send a header to the browser that will cause the browser to 
stop loading the current page and redirect it to another URL.

http://php.net/header

if ( ... ) {

   Do some work...

   header('Location: someotherpage.php');
   exit();

}

You want to make sure you always call exit(); after issuing a call to 
header('Location: ...');
