<?php

ob_start();

echo "<body><p>Hello "

if ($condition) {
   header( "Location: http://www.google.com/" );
   exit;
}

echo " World!</p></body>";
ob_end_flush();

?>

When $condition is true I get this:

<body>Hello

What I want is when $condition will be true then go to Google!!!

I don't know what is happening, can you explain or give me a solution!?

Thanks.

Just add ob_end_clean(); before the header call.
