Description:
------------
As of documentazion if you pile up two header('Location: URL)'; the second URL will be opened.
In 4.3.3RC4 you will load the first one

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
header('Location: http://www.php.net');
print "Let's write something interesting that nobody would read";
header('Location: http://qa.php.net');
?>

Expected result:
----------------
You should load PHP home page

Actual result:
--------------
You will load QA home page

You should partially modify my report
<?php
header('Location: http://www.php.net');
print "Let's write something interesting that nobody would read";
header('Location: http://qa.php.net');
?>
Will load the first URL

<?php
header('Location: http://www.php.net');
header('Location: http://qa.php.net');
?>
Will load the second URL (note the absence of any print statement). I.e. if you output something the first URL is to be loaded, otherwise you'll load the second one

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

If you print something, headers are send out. If they are send out you can not overwrite them again. Not a bug -> bogus

I understand, but PHP 4.3.2 will load the second URL, not the first one.
Which is the right behavior?

Unless any output buffering function is enabled, headers would shortly be sent out at the time some output is made.
There's no exception. Check your php.ini.
